This was my first 'official' running event and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere was brilliant and the event was very well organised. I think I've got the bug now and will be looking to take part in more events in the future. Thanks to all involved. John W

Great local event with plenty of support and encouragement from spectators, fellow runners and organisers. A fast course and the free medal engraving at the end was an extra special touch. Ali-Ann H
