Really good intro to Trail running - this was my first non road run.
I have plenty of experience running half marathons but this was a completely different experience.
I found it challenging at times but great fun.
I am a nature lover so this suited me perfectly and it was very well organised so I didn’t feel stressed at the start trying to get my number.
However please be aware that dogs are allowed to be walked throughout the course though as it always takes place on a Sunday and the half marathon starts at 9am, most of the dog walkers don’t became apparent until well into the run.
I was initially worried about doing the 10k as Cannock Chase is notoriously hilly. However, the route was absolutely gorgeous and though undulating, not at all the big hills I was expecting. The way they mapped the route was great and the organisation and team were just so wonderful abd supportive. Event Village was large and toilets onside too. Another great event!!
