In short: same friendly race by the Haddies.
In full: race run on farm roads and tarcks. although advertised as multi terrain, only about 2 k was really what one might call off road rest of the route was good tarmac farm roads. out and back meant I knew what to expect on the way back which was a bonus given the really wet weather prior to the race. really friendly and welcoming with a good feed after. with spot prizes and a kids race it makes for a welcoming atmosphere. will be back

In short: same good organisation again
In full: look on this as an annual event as it has good organisation, nice scenery and good mix of terrain. this year was very windy and had more sore bits as a result. but still enjoyable.

In short: too busy
In full: not for the serious runner. more for wlakers!! don't call it the Great North RUN. not a run more a walk. too many walkers at the front who are they kidding. My 84 yr old mum could walk faster. Meant many of us spent too much time in the sun comtributing to heat problems.
