Run review. Overall a good event, I was a little tricked by the ‘mostly flat’ description due to numerous inclines but nothing too difficult. Beautiful scenery however it gets a little dull by the 3rd lap of 4. The course was well signposted and marshalled. They were out of the free gift in my size by the time I finished but have ordered me one which is a nice gesture, and I wasn’t expecting such a good gift in any event as the race was so cheap to enter. Overall, great value for money and a good practice event before you do a full marathon. Would attend again.
