An enjoyable experience. This was the first competitive race I've done with very little running experience. The volunteers were fantastic at encouraging and did a grand job at the event despite the horrendous weather conditions. It was a challenging but enjoyable route. I thoroughly enjoyed the 5k run and will definitely be doing more events

Winter Hill 10k. A great multi terrain route stony tracks , mud , grassy paths and very well organised, in very challenging conditions Would definitely recommend this as a tough Winter 10k race

First 10k race. The weather was awful yet the event staff did everything they could to keep everyone motivated which really helped in the conditions! The terrain was challenging but enjoyable when you got the feeling back in your toes. Would definitely do again a great sense of achievement afterwards!
