In short: Great first time race. Challenging enough to get a great sense of satisfaction but not so difficuly that it would put a complete beginner off.

In short: A fantastic, scenic 10K with PB potential
In full: This is the second time I've entered this (after last year) and found it to be just as brilliantly organised again. A beautiful, local 10K all on closed roads with a couple of water-stations along the way, fantastic marshalls and many small crowds to cheer you along can't be bad at all! I had a PB here last year and knocked another minute off it again this year - what more can I say? Other than "see you next year"!!

In short: Superb in every way
In full: I'd never heard of this race but two friends recommended it, and I'm glad they did. I was expecting a ramshackle village "fun run"; what I got was a smooth, beautifully organised proper race, over an interesting and varied course, well marshalled and a pleasure to participate in. I will certainly be back.
