This is a 10K lap through Wendover Woods which was well sign posted and easy to navigate. X1 for the 10k X2 for the 1/2 Marathon X4 for the marathon. It’s in nature and trail running with a couple of steep hills to climb. There’s not many spectators but its beautiful scenery. Cafe and toilets are tip top... the entry fees were reasonable.

Another fantastic race. Great atmosphere and brilliant support from onlookers, staff and volunteers but big thanks to volunteer Simona who ran most of the 10km route near the back of the 10km group where I was encouraging and supporting us all the way whilst collecting litter on route! Fantastic support. Sue K

Well organised event, was really nice to be able to get the children involved in the 1km race, in which they all received a medal and sweets. Great facilities on site, all staff were very supportive, really fun event, look forward to next year! Alexandra S

The course was perfectly marked, and the entire event was flawlessly managed. Highly recommended! David A
