In short: Lovely evening run
In full: Very enjoyable run. Lap of the woods after which we headed of to Hare hill before returning to finish. Footpath, rough track, road and fields - definatley mutliterain and the variety made it all go past in a flash. Excellent organisation as always.

In short: Perfectly Formed
In full: Lovely countryside around Alderley Edge;
I ran just outside my 5M PB pace for the 5.25M of the race, with the minor undulations providing the sort of added interest I enjoy;
Great time had by all!

In short: Great race but the hardest 5 miles I've every done..!
In full: I'm new to all this having only done the Manchester 10k and the Salomon Delamere 10K this year. I though the course was great but tough due to the mud and water logged ground. It made it all the more satisfying to have some left in the tank for a fast finish. Had a great time and hoping to do the 10 Miler at Great Warford in August as I am working my way to the Great North Run in September.
