In short: A challenging 5k
In full: I do not usually do 5k races but I did travel 75 minutes to get to this one and i was not disappointed. The race was a challenge with one long tough incline. Relaxed friendly atmosphere. The facilities at Hestercombe Gardens kept the wife and kids occupied. The forest car park was a long muddy walk away from the event. Well done to all those involved

In short: Fast 2milkes then slow last hilly mile
In full: Started right after the 9.5 race and felt a bit like a poor relation. Pity because it is an excellent route and deserves to be given more publicity and get more than the 35 entrants. A great change to the usual level 5ks round here.
Will do it again and try to drum up more support.
