In short: Pleasant Saturday morning multi-terrain run
In full: Entry down on previous years, expensive parking charge in country park, no problem parking but no changing, cafe on site, course a mixture of trail, paths and road, around a lake and up the hill, back down and round another lake, pleasantly challenging.

In short: Scenic undulating race within Clumber Park well worth turning out for.
In full: Decent facilities, congested start but field soon spread out, beautiful course run entirely within the National Trust's Clumber Park, undulating but nothing too difficult, slow to get over finish line (55mins), good T Shirt. Will be back next year.

In short: Enjoyable morning out
In full: Easy to find just off M1 J26, good facilities at the leisure centre, very well marshalled (thanks), scenic course, uphill start, long downhill then steady undualting climb to the finish along roads, tracks and paths. Weather made it muddy underfoot but that's the beauty of multi surface runs. Good T shirt at finish, thanks KAD.

In short: Excellent Sunday morning
In full: Couldn't fault it, vindicated the decision to move. Interesting mix of road, lanes, track, canal bank and the odd few cobbles over the bridge. Better for not having to do the playing field circuit at the end! Thanks HH.

In short: Great day out
In full: Really should do my homework, didn't expect a trail race! Good venue, sufficient parking and changing, challenging course with mixture of road, cobbles, track and trail up and down, surprisingly scenic, friendly marshalls. Excellent goody bag and t-shirt, sausage roll and gingerbread cake at finish. This event deserves to be better supported, I'll be back across the Pennines next year, well done and thanks to Prestwich AC.

In short: Flat, fast and well organised
In full: Well signposted from the A63, no problem parking, excellent facilities in the rugby clubhouse, well organised and marshalled, perfect for first timers and speed merchants, massage on hand, one minor gripe - the tshirt distribution could have been a tad better organised and other finishers hanging around the tables gossiping didn't help us plodders in the rain! Thanks to the organisers, well done and I'll be back next year.

In short: Enjoyable evening out
In full: 2 laps, 2 short climbs, otherwise flatter than anticpated, something different for me and quite enjoyed the evening trip across the Pennines. Thanks guys.

In short: Enjoyable morning out
In full: Hard? Hilly? Tough? Challenging? Come off it folks, one long gradual climb and the rest is easy. And what's wrong with council estates? Did someone get mugged or something? I found the course a good mix of trail and road and was well organised so congrats to the organisers, I'll be back next year - from a Yorkie!

In short: Undulating course and well organised
In full: Different course to when I last ran it a few years ago, better for it as there are fewer hills believe it or not... Not as scenic now but still respectable enough. Well organised and a pleasure to run. Thanks Harrogate Harriers.
