In short: Tough race, great views
In full: A hard race with lots of hills, but lovely scenery. Lots of marshals. Fun t-shirt.
The start was difficult to find, & was about a mile away, & not even the marshals knew where it was! Had to rely on people who'd done it before to show us.
Mainly club runners, so not many of us bimblers!!
Good we got free tickets for the otherwise quite expensive car park.

In short: Great race, well organised, but BRUTAL hills
In full: Really well organised and friendly race, but be under no illusions about the hills! The whole course is either up or down; I didn't remember any flat bits at all!

Really well organised though and a good race to add to anybody's summer calendar. The 15k distance is unusual but a good mid-way challenge.

In short: Undulating takes on a whole new meaning
In full: A lovely race with nice scenery. Definitely not a PB course and the word 'undulating' is a slight understatement(!) but on the whole, very satisfying and I would do it again.
