beautiful yet challenging route with hills and trails

only one possible improvement opportunity , as it was not a staggered start , the early part of the race is on very narrow and uneven road making it a little bit of a challenge to get through a lot of people to the place you want to be in order to get into your stride. but great organisation, fantastic marshals , friendly home club 10/10

Mostly runable but a tough hill in the middle

A great race and excellent marshalls but the hill just after halfway was a struggle

A run in the sun

I enjoy the evening races. I enjoyed the cake stands even more.
Always well organised and good medals by Nice Work.

Loved it!

Loving the new route.
Best of both worlds with the slick organisation you get from larger events but with a nice local, smaller event feel. Good, clear pre race instructions. Getting race number was easy. Great support from marshals. Car parking was easy as was exit from here after the race due to helpful high viz heroes. Homemade cake and really nice medal too.

Absolutely brilliant race, thoroughly recommended!

Really well organised from parking, to collecting race numbers to terrific marshalling and support throughout. Stunning route and perfect weather contributed to fantastic experience. Will be repeating next year.

Lovely course but tough!

Loves this run,( my first time) it was well organised and the marshals were brilliant. Big and only criticism is the lack of team and age cat prizes( I would have won both!) even a bottle of wine would have good

Friendly local race with a challenging hill

Really friendly Marshalls, nice medal and well organised parking.

Only complaint is that the km markers were not accurate.

Decent event. Start and finish got improve

I think the start should be staggered. Very tight at start through the lanes with some people walking and slower runners at the front didn’t help the start at all. Also lots of people standing just over the finish line wasn’t great as you almost had to just stop as soon as you crossed the line.
