The event running wise was perfect a great course. Something I’d do again.
The only downside I would say is starting time. Was meant to be 10k at 10am and 5k at 10:15am, which then the organiser said we are all starting at 10:15 but turned out to be 10:25am.
Another thing was the safety pins & the snacks at the end which I’m afraid brings the stars down to a 3.
A fun race, I would do this one again. Lovely run through beautiful forest. Mixed crowd, most doing a 2-lap 10k but a few (including me) dipping our toes in the water with a one-lap 5k. Unexplained late start, in the cold. Muddy. The course was quite soft due to wet weather - trail shoes were helpful. Bitterly cold afterwards, I needed warmer clothes to change into. There is a cafe by the car park.
