In short: A Special Race for the Beginner or Club runner
In full: This is the 3rd time in the last 4 years I have run this race. Well organised and exactly what it says on the tin, a 'fun run' which is excellent for the beginner. The course is part road, track and field. It has some fast sections, but will never be a PB course, do to the climbs up and down from the railway line. The atmosphere is always great and the goody bag as always very good, featuring a christmas pud, xmas mug, certificate and medal. Well done to all those involved.

In short: A Great Fun Run especially for the first time racer
In full: This is a great fun run and if you are expecting to gain a PB then you are in for a shock. Great atmosphere, goody back and a course which packs in cross country, trail, road and grass. An excellent race for the first timer, as they will feel very at ease given the atmosphere which is created by Norfolk Gazelles.

In short: Brilliant festive fun
In full: This was definitely one of my favourite races of the year. The course is a good one, bits of cross country, and lots of encouragement from the marshals. Course could be reasonably fast if conditions were a bit better (suspect this might have been a touch over 5km today). Fantastic value - the goody bag at the end was awesome for the price of entry of this race. Overall a great big thumbs up. Will be back next year.

In full: Fab event through pretty countryside, not flat enough, smooth enough or dry enough to think about a pb today! Lovely atmosphere and friendly marshalls. Will be back next year.
