In short: A great small race, very well organized, plenty to entertain the family on fathers day.
In full: This was a fun morning out, and my non-running wife and daughter enjoyed themselves too - bouncy castle was a big hit! We also had a nice picnic in the park after the race. Most of the course was off-road, but a few twists and turns on roads including a hairpin bend to cross the road were a bit of a pain. Kilometre markers were spectacularly inaccurate, but the overall course measurement seems to be accurate. Overall, very well organized, very friendly, and definitely looking forward to next year.

In short: Very nearly flat, great PB potential except that with it being held in June it's likely to be hot (ish!)
In full: Not having been to Rushcliffe Park before, this was an interesting and very enjoyable experience. I'm hoping to bring my wife next year and if the weather is as good as it was this year, it'll be a great place for a picnic after the race. It was fun to see Jo from East Midlands Today afterwards.
