This is my 2nd event following the ‘Icing On The Cake’ earlier in the year. But, just as good. Signing up was easy and straight-forward, pre-race information was clear & questions answered quickly. Team really welcoming, registration was straight-forward and brief clear. Course was really enjoyable to run, well marked and with a well stocked food & drink station at the end of each lap. Not much more I can say, other than look forward to doing it again next year, thank you :-) Pete S
