A brilliant event. Helpful information email received in the build up to the event with directions and parking information. The event itself was well organised with ample parking. The race itself was great, with regular Marshall stations and KM signposts. I stuck around in Dalby Forest after the event and enjoyed a picnic near the visitors centre. A great setting for a run! Looking forward to future events
