In short: very nice little trail race
In full: this is a decent little race which i will be back for nxt yr. A little clubby but that didnt seem 2 b any sort of problem. Stewards were very friendly all the way round,possibly the best stewards ive come across in running. My only little gripe was no water on the way round, u usually wouldnt need it on a 5 miler but with the weather so hot,i couldve done with just wetting my mouth. All in all a very good race which i would definately recommend for all levels of runners

In short: fantasic, friendly, trail race
In full: This is a great race, lots of club runners but also nice, friendly atmosphere and great marshalls to cheer you round if you're a slower/beginner runner.
Lovely course on trails.
