Organiser's Description
Celebrate 100 years of Forestry Commission England, with a unique 10k running series through the forests of England. Enter any individual 10k event, or conquer the nation's forests and complete the Forestry 100 Challenge and run 100k of forest trails across any ten events in the series. Set in 16 beautiful forest sites around the Country, each 10k trail has its own individual characteristics. Will it be flat and fast, picturesque but punishing, or steady with stunning scenery?
You can’t ignore the sweet smell of pine as you’re running the 10k trail at Cannock Chase forest. A great course for those new to trail running, with some gradual long climbs to test your endurance.

Very tough race. This is the toughest 10k run I have ever competed in. I don't think the description was very accurate. I was 12 minutes slower than my previous 10k run at the beginning of April so that shows the difficulty of the course. The hills were severe especially the one called cardiac hill and feel that the course was not accurately described. Within the first kilometre the track was so narrow that we all had to walk as there was no room to pass and there was a big backlog of people. I also feel it could have very demoralising for newer runners due to it's toughness. I would not run this event again and would be wary of participating in any events run by the same organisers as the description of the event was misleading.
