Great Race. My wife did the 5km, and I did the 10km. It washer first race so we picked this so I could run the first loop with her. The race was well organised and had a friendly atmosphere. A great route, a few "hills" to make it interesting. It is mostly on good paths, with a few short sections or very easy trial. I would happily enter again.
