Really enjoyed this race. It was relaxed but well organised with plenty of staff and pacers for all times. The trail was mostly paved footpath with some muddy patches. Good snacks at the end too!

First ever run event & half marathon, and couldn’t have had a better experience. The whole set up was great & the marshals were all so encouraging and lovely all the way around the course. Lovely venue & got very lucky with the weather. Will definitely be returning for another.

Good course, logistics really good. Poor medal, same one for all distances and poor good bag. Please don’t give nuts to nut allergy sufferers…
