In short: Well Organised Unique Race with PB potential
In full: Lovely race with traffic free running. With two laps zig zag around industrial setting with track you see your friends running. Enthusiastic Marshals. Wouldnt hurt to have a better finishing line banner. Will be back next year.

In short: Well Organised but a little short on distance
In full: Bitterly cold weather but good natured organisers. Distance was not quite the ful 10 miles however setting was quite unique and for a good cause.

In short: Unique setting, good PB potential but tough in places
In full: Weather was bitter, but to get a chance to run around the grounds and test track of the FORD Dunton Test Track was a unique opportunity for any motor enthusiast.

Cambered sections on the 2 lap race were pretty tough, especially on the backside of the track which hosted a pretty steep incline.

Besides what I would consider a tough race in places, 3 friends and I all managed to hit PBs. Will definitely be attending next year

In short: Unique setting - industrial, but not hideous, on a track not normally available to the public.
In full: The criteria RW give you to choose from don't really reflect the setting for this race. It is industrial, but it's a motor manufacturer's test track (for the most part), not pretty but not horrible either.

It's a bit expensive, but it's a fund-raiser for the local Hospice.
