In short: lots of off-road but well organised, scenic race
In full: most of the 10k is off road and you have to be careful of your footing but a really enjoyable way to spend a mid week evening. Great scenic cross country course. Will be back next year

In short: 1st time but not the last
In full: Great friendly little race organised on a shoestring but runs like clockwork. Lovely 2 lap course that goes through the amimal park. Enjoyed this one and will be back

In short: An enjoyable run after a day in the office
In full: Lovely scenery and an enjoyable run after a day in the office. Weather was just about right for running. Nice and flat but with lots of grass and trails so a PB isn't going to be easy to achieve. Well worth doing again.

In short: Well organised, scenic 10k.
In full: Good mix of trail and hard surface. Grass had been cut through the field sections of the course to make it a little easier on the runners. A few dips here and there to watch out for when off-road, so one had to be a little more conscious of footing whilst running, but nothing too bad.

Very pleasant and enjoyable evening run. Weather held out too, which was a bonus. Would definitely do this one again.
