Well organised event. A little more information about the conditions (given we'd had snow and ice) would have been useful prior to the event itself.

A brilliant well organised race. I loved how the organiser, who I think is called Justin, was personally congratulating all runners coming over the finish line.

Excellent route especially along the beautiful coastline. Tough going in places with plenty of hills and a variety of terrain. Well organised event and HQ area is spot on - bar/cafe area and changing rooms.

What a great way to welcome the new year! Justin and the team at CSW put on another amazing event, with fantastic energy and support. The course was flawlessly marked throughout and care was taken at all places where ice was a concern - big thanks to everyone who stood out in the cold with a smile. These measures ensured that all participants could fully enjoy the run! And it was wonderful to return to the Holt Bar at the Cricket Club, where family and friends were waiting in comfort. I'll be back again next year! Hopefully in full 16th Century frocks...
