In short: Lovely scenic course but very tough & hilly - ROUTE IS 5.8mi NOT 6!
In full: I suspect the course must've had an extra loop into the village or something for the first running(s) of this event as the course is now only 5.8mi, and not as the title would suggest 6mi.

Friendly atmosphere and well marshalled event that's fairly small in size. Whilst roads are not closed they are very traffic free (perhaps 1-2cars all the way round?). Some challenging climbs, which combined with the hot weather makes PB pace very unlikely (Except there aren't really any other 5.8mi races around - or unless you use your result as a 6mi race time)

Very well organised on the day, except it's now Wednesday and results still aren't available.

In short: Straighforward route with attractive scenery, a few undulations to make it interesting. Good encouragement from plenty of marshalls. Hot day!!

In short: friendly event well worth doing. Course Hilly. I can see why runners come back to do this event every year.
