A great morning out for us. Overall it was well organised and staff were really lovely and encouraging. My 1 niggle would be that as a first timer to croft we didn't know where to go so some sign posting on entry into the venue and where the race village was would have been helpful. That aside great job!
Runners are a hardy breed! Persistent rain didn't deter the cheerful and efficient registration process. Well organized and clear as there were multiple events and start time. The warm up was definitely needed, however the rain did ease off as the 10K runners went down to the start.
Clearly marked course, good surface and plenty of room throughout, with encouragement from marshalls and onlookers. Love the medal - and the goodies. Full of endorphins for the remainder of the day!
