In short: More challenging than I'd geared myself up for In full: The race was excellently organised and the 618 registrants is testament to that. Lots of marshalls and refreshment stops along the way. The registration process was easy – as long as you remember the race number they send you prior to the event (which we didn’t!) - and it really is a lovely route through the Dorset countryside. I’d really recommend this race as a step away from the mass organised town centre events which, whilst flatter, are not always that exciting. I’s also a lot cheaper and your entry fee contributes to a donation to St Margaret’s Hospice. This is the sort of local event we should all be supporting to make sure they don’t get lost amongst the mass sponsored, mass attended events.
