This is my second year running and I will come back again. 

The 10k is ran on a multiterrain course going through the WestLodge Farm Park and closed roads.

although feeling the heat, the course was fast and I believe both winners set course records! 

Finaly, for the pleasure of running, you get a medal , bottle of wine & can purchase a hogroast! 

This was the first time I've tackled this course so I didn't quite know what to expect but it's a fab little race. 

Register on line before hand or enter on the day. Picked up the numbers on the night which was really quick and easy. The event was also chip timed which is pretty rare at these small events. 

A 2 lap course with some on and off road. The off road sections were quite tough with a few inclines, covered with straw it made knowing what was under foot tough. But then onto closed roads which was lovely. 2 well stocked water stations which on a hot evening was much needed. 

The marshals out on the course were amazing and provided great support all the way along. As did public support at the start, middle and finish. 

Crossed the line to collect my goody bag which contained a small bag of haribo and a cereal bar. Then you had the choice of a bottle of red or white wine, personalised for the event. 

Refreshments on offer afterwards were brilliant, I opted for an icecream rather than the hog roast and beer! 

A fab event and I can't wait to be back next year 

This Desborough 10k organised at West Lodge Farm Park is on my doorstep. 

Initialy not planned to do it but entered 3 days on the runbritain website and coming from a Tri background the £15 price felt like a bargain.

Ample parking; registration was a breeze and race briefing...well I didn't here one!

the course is made of two laps on rolling terrain, half tarmac, half grassland and crop field both mowed down to a minimum. I'd like to point out that tarmac was on closed road. Found the course challenging in what was a warm evening.

at the finish after your timing is taken of, you get greeted by the best goody bag...haribos, crunchy bar and...a bottle of wine! 

West Lodge were also selling pulled pork rolls, sausages, local beer and cider...ice cream...Think I loved it...I'll be back next year
