I entered last minute as I had been running well in July and wanted to test my 10k time. Easy registration, without any issue. All race info was clearly detailed in emails. Picked up bib on race day, no fuss. This race attaracts a lot of local clubs and has a good turn out, now in it's 20th year it clearly has a loyal following.

The race starts on the edge of the Wrexham industial estate, but you quickly find yourself runnign through scenic country lanes. As a result, there isn't any support. There was one drinks station on 5k and plenty of water at the finish. The route is well marshalled and flat all the way round.

I was happy to get my 10k PB of 39:19 and finish 35th out of 670. That July training was put to good use in the end.

I'd definately do this race again, it has a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere and had runners of all abilities. Nice and local and a quality medal at the finish too - something I always like!

Small local club feel event, ran in memory of a local lady. Flat, fast course with nice countryside views. And now a medal too. Definitely one to consider again.
