I took part in the night run and I would urge caution. Consider carefully taking part if it has been raining. Incredibly slippery and muddy underfoot and there were plenty of spills. If you want to take part then enter the daytime run. This wasn’t what I anticipated and I accept I should have researched it better. I completed the event but there were quite a few who didn’t. The finishing times were logged manually about 25 metres beyond the finishing line so keep running.

My first 10k! Tough, muddy, picturesque! I may have been last but it was a brilliant experience! Big thanks to Terri, the sweep, who made sure I finished! Get off the couch and do it!

Everything was well organised - the pre-race admin, car parking, facilities at the start/finish area, race briefing, marshalling, course marking, post-race goodies and a nice medal! My only slight gripe is that, according to my Garmin watch, the 10K course measured 9.69K, so it didn't actually register as a 10K run! But overall, it was a good experience, and an enjoyable challenge.
