In short: Not a bad first effort.
In full: Surprised by lack of organisation from Nice Work. Did not recieve race number before event and they had no record of me when I checked in on the day.
Not enough medals for all finishers, only first 200 runners received a proper medal.
Course was described as undulating with good PB potential. Undulating included two very steep climbs that were very slippery by the time you ran up them again on the second lap.
Overall the course is more like a cross country rather than a trail race.
Plenty of positives though. Easy access to location and plenty of free parking. With the course being laps it makes it good for spectators and the proximity to the Snibston Discovery Centre is good for families.
With a few tweaks to the organisation and the course, this could turn out to be a good addition to the racing calendar.

In short: Good challenging race but rewards could be better.
In full: First time doing this race. Parking very easy. Long queues at the HQ tent to pick up race numbers as organisers chose not to send out in advance. Don't know about you but I like to pin my number on at home rather than struggle with it in a windy car park.
Route quite challenging with a few steep climbs and a last 2Kms that really make you work hard. Route is all on road with a mixture of urban street and country lanes.
Finish momento rather disappointing. A drawstring bag with a biscuit and some vouchers. The organisers could have at least stretched to a medal in my opinion.
Not a race that will be top of my list to do again but not a bad event.
