Other runners are ahead, with some vegetation and sparse clouds in the background. A signpost stands near a serene lakeside path under a clear blue sky with the sun shining brightly. The lake reflects the sunlight, and a small caution sign is visible on the grassy shore. Old, decaying wooden beams covered in green algae protrude from a flat, rocky shoreline under a cloudy sky. The beams, arranged in a line, extend towards the calm sea in the background. A person wearing a white shirt and black cap is jogging along a grassy path next to a body of water and marshland under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Good event and lovely views. Well sign posted and easy to follow and the event staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative was that the runners set off after the hikers and there was an awkward section where we were in each other's way for a bit.
Hi Natalie, Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the views and found the route easy to follow. Appreciate your note about the start times, we’ll take that on board to help improve the flow for everyone. Hope to see you on the trails again soon!
