This was a fabulous event, Small and friendly with a great atmoshere. Hubby Bob and I will deffo be back next year. A choice of a ten or five miler. Scenic trail run with a super medal and a fabulous cake spread and bowls of watermelon at the finish. Very generous time limit too. I am a slow runner but felt under no pressure at all.
