Always an excellent atmosphere, well supported throughout the course, all marshalls extremely friendly and encouraging. This was my 9th time, more of us from the running club participated as we remembered a dear running friend who passed away last year, this was his favorite race. We wore bibs on our backs in his memory. Julie G
Just a lovely event. Graham E
A good route with great crowd support. Trevor J
A fun challenge. Had a fantastic day. Well organised and the atmosphere was great. Route was well marked. Hills were definitely challenging but made that finish all the more rewarding. Emily H
