| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Some organisational issues. Tough, more hilly than flat/undulating
In full: Nightmare traffic for those trying to get to 5k due to road closures for the 1 mile race. This needs to be looked at. No signage directing you to parking which makes it difficult to find a place to park if you don't know the area. As a result only just made it in time. Course is pretty challenging. Good mix of runners of different abilities and good support from marshalls & spectators. Hillier than expected and traffic issues means I probably wouldn't do this race again.

In short: Really Enjoyed this one.
In full: Nice weather, Marshalls and crowd were fantastic, supporting all the way around and having done a 10k last night needed it. My son won the 1 mile Kids Kaper to make it a great night and got a fantastic trophy which has made his week.
