Course mix of trails, paths, hills, downhills and tarmac paths. Rahul V
Beautiful. You get to run over Ironbridge three times. Craig M
Dash in a Splash. Weather was dire, which made for splashy muddy conditions – not ideal but hey, can’t fix the weather. The course takes in the beauty of the Ironbridge Gorge – it’s low key, simple and friendly. I’m not into bling (find it a tad boring) but today’s unicorn was unique and enough to give anyone medal envy. The run does what it says on the tin – it’s well organised and you’re made very welcome whatever level of running you are at. Kim F
