This was my first race I’ve ever entered and I absolutely loved it. The course was flat and the scenery was beautiful. It really didn’t feel like 10K as there was so much to see. The event was well organised and to top it off the weather was perfect.
Congrats on your first race. We strive to be as welcoming as possible to first time runners. Thanks for your review, Race Director Tom

Beautiful course at a beautiful time of year. Only drawback is that the entry to the village was at a back entrance and quite the walk from the station and the Victoria gate that most people are familiar with - though it's understandable that this is done to not get in the way of staff prepping the front of the gardens for the day. Just be sure to leave 15 mins to walk there from the station.
