What a lovely race! Having completed a fair few runs in London this year, this was a contrast. The number of participants, the route and the support made for a much more peaceful run. Sarah M

Nice little race, good PB potential. Ellie S

This race is a very flat out and back course, on tarmac, with a few VERY gentle rises that catch your muscles out! ...it makes a very good race and good for PBs (which I got!). I'd certainly do this race again, and would definitely recommend it. Mark R

Very supportive marshals. Lucinda R
