A really well organised fun race. Excellent support and amazing marshalls! We’ll definitely be back next year. I would recommend this as a first half for anyone x Fiona A

Absolutely fantastic race, very well organised, amazed at how quick the results come through, great event village. Even toilet queues are organised, fab PB course. Jaime H

An all round well organised, well marshalled and well supported event, despite the freezing weather today. A nice section running through Elvaston Park. Mostly flat course so would great for beginners or those attempting a PB. The finish straight into the town centre was great with crowds either side. Will definitely be back!! Stuart N
