In short: Hell's frozen over and not what it once was
In full: I had great fun running this but with the air temp at minus 3 degrees it was a little chilly in the water sections. This year saw the return of the car park near the start. This was at a £4 premium but well worth it if just to reduce the likelihood of hypothermia walking to the alternate car park about a mile away.
Despite the loos being frozen up, the start being disorganised and several runners taking short cuts I still love this race.

In short: A great Sunday morning run
In full: A well organised and well marshalled race which was very enjoyable. The 10k may have been a scenic run through the woods but all too often I was busy watching out for the mud, puddles and the uneven bits!
My wish list for next year...
1 End the race in the carpark so spectators get a look in,
2 Put some lego in the goody bag e.g. lego runner keyring!
3 Count down signs near end...
4 More toilets!
5 Get the chips in for timing.

Despite these small niggles I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back next year.
