Music! Where was the music? It would have made it much more fun and bearable on such a hot day.

Fantastic morning thanks to brilliant energy from the marshals and event organisers. My first organised event and a very slow runner but never felt out of place or unwelcome. Definitely agree it’s a very hilly course but don’t let that put you off - walking the hills is fine!

Very hilly. Narrow paths at points and fairly busy with other runners, dog walkers etc. Nice views but tough. 4 laps for the half with one water station. Another water station would be great. An electrolyte station would be amazing.

It was my first 5k run and I loved it! Lovely staff and very organised. I'll definitely be back for the 10k soon :)

Seemed pretty well organised, although it started a bit late, I think to wait for parkrun to finish (which kinda undermined this race). Pretty course (the park itself is quite scenic). Only the 1 water station at start/finish (laps of 5k). Worth a try!
