Flat, lovely river and canal scenery and was a well organised event. Really good atmosphere and all round good vibes. The route was well marshalled and there were at least 3 feed and water stations on the route. The trail had a mix of gravel/stony paths to mud and grass trails plus a short stint on tarmac. It’s a decent route if you’re wanting to push for a trail PB. I’ll 100% be doing this next year.

Completed my first half marathon. It is a nice flat route and the atmosphere is relaxed. The standout thing for me was how well organised it was. Lots of marshalls out marking the route, really well stocked feed stations. Nothing to worry about apart from the run. Thanks alot for organising this.

Decent parking, nice route, good number of marshals, home made cake halfway through(!). Really friendly event that wasn't huge - the downside of that was that there weren't many supporters out there. Main reason for not getting a 5 star review is that there was only a medal and an energy drink in the goodie bag. I'd have liked a T-shirt :).
