I really enjoyed it. Was a bit different to normal 10ks. Running in the dark is actually a good laugh. Michael D

Great. Phillip B

Brilliant, something for everyone. From the volunteers’ encouragement, to the downhill that came after the uphill, to the sweets on the aid station that was like a beacon in the trees – can’t fault this run at all. I was slightly concerned about the small laps having never done anything like it before but it really worked perfectly. Vicki F

Wonderful friendly event! Perfect event for an all ability group from marathoners to 5ks and even walkers who were primarily using the event to raise money for a charity. Friendly fun event. Loved it! Anne D

Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
