In short: Took my husband and children along to do the fun run. My two children, 9 and 7 were so thrilled to finish the 5k and desperate to check out their goodie bags and medal......
In full: Boy were they disappointed. After being charged twenty pound for them to enter I don't think it is too much trouble to provide a momento or medal even if it is only for the kids!!! Where was the inspiration for them to do it again???? Definitely will not be back.

In short: Poorly organised.
In full: Difficult to get information prior to race from website or organisers and 'flaws' on the day itself spoiled the day for the three of us taking part. The map provided in the pack-up indicated just one car park that was a 20 minute walk from the start although there were 2 others much closer. The information pack indicated there would be lockers (at a charge of £3) although there were no facilities there at all. Being told by the 'Organiser' that the lady who was supposed to sort the lockers had been off sick for the previous month added insult to injury. Having to leave our gear in a plastic bag under a table was not reassuring. On the plus side a good warm-up was provided by 'Military Fitness' and the flat scenic course did provide a PB. Nevertheless we will not partake in this event again and do not recommend it.
