Loved every moment of this event! The atmosphere was great! But a little disappointed all of the after run snacks had finished - I think people were taking more than one However this is my only complaint in a fantastic run. Sue E

All ok. A lovely run with most people in Xmas dress and a great turnout every year. Mick S
