In short: A very good well organised event.
In full: The race is multi terrain taking you from roads to woodlands etc. The support was great with a brass band playing. There are some hilly parts but not to bad. The medal at the end was very good indeed with thought placed behind it. A person dressed as a monkey handed out bananas at the end of the race :-/ and all I can say is I'll be back next year, thanks!

In short: Great atmosphere with a challenging run that isn't good for a PB since the course gets narrow at times and passing becomes difficult quite frequently so just go ahead and run it cause it's a great race

In short: Fabulous race - leaves you with a nice warm feeling :O)
In full: My 2nd time running this race - loved it last year, loved it this year! It takes you through wonderful trails - some gentle hills to test you but nothing awful. And the organisation is great - really friendly, the marshalls are fabulous and the spectators are very encouraging. Nice goody bag and the gorilla with the bananas at the finish puts a smile on your face. A definite for the race calendar.

In short: Great route and well organised
In full: I thoroughly enjoyed myself!! Fantastic staged start prevented bottlenecking along narrow parts of the course. Brilliant marshalls and a few cheering crowds helped us along. Nice goody bag too.

In short: My first 10k since a kidney transplant. Needed a friendly inclusive event and that's just what it was.
