Hi Muggle, the 4 miler as with any of Alan's races is a friendly race great for any abilities. Just because people are members of clubs it does not make them fast runners! Many just join clubs for the social aspect. I get beaten by many unattached runners! just come along and enjoy the run
I ran this a few years ago, it is a nice race not that hilly. It is a friendly race worth turning up to. I ran it in normal on road trainers as it is more trail than off road. Enjoy
