Amazing course and support, everything was top-notch. Can’t wait to race again next year! Maria F
Always enjoy this event which I have competed in for many years. The atmosphere is great and Nice Work events are always well run (unlike some others!) The icing on the cake is having Kev Daley on the mic. He is so enthusiastic and supportive that his presence really enhances the day. Mark S
