In short: Wonderful scenery, easy first time trail run course
In full: Wonderful morning in the Dunstable Downs. Organization was superb, from the reviews I read from the previous year, it looks like they didn't organize well in the past but this year they really stepped it up. There was a 5K and a 10K race, both went off without a hitch. A couple of nice touches included the announcer cheering you on BY NAME from a loud speaker as you neared the finish line (was enough to give a boost of energy at the end of the race!) also had a machine at the end where you typed in your number and it printed your time on the spot which was great. The path was not too tough but still a good challenge. This was my first 'trail run' and I think it was great for a first timer. A more experienced trail runner might not be as impressed with the track. Great goodie bag too. Would definitely run the race again though as was great fun!
