Heard great things about this race and had to give it a go.

Online registration was dead easy. The usual emails to confirm and inform about the run.

Picked your number and timing chip up at the rugby club near the town centre. Parking looked busy on the roadsides, but town centre parking was available a few minutes away.(we parked at my mum and dad's house away from it and got dropped off there). Toilets at registration were very busy!!

After picking up number you walk to the start line just is about 5/10 mins walk away. It was signposted but was follow the leader with everyone heading that way. 

Basic start/finish area. Start line, small unmanned baggage tent, some portaloos and bottled water available after the run.

The route was very scenic, going through 2 deer parks, farm fields, woodland and country lanes. It was a trail run so expect mud, lots of it!!! Trail shoes essential.

Marshalls were excellent and very supportive. Not much local suppport due to the size and nature of the run but locals atstart/finish and a few public points on the route.

Presentations and mementos were back at the rugby club. Only a tech tee as a memento of the day but it was good quality. Food and drink available to buy in the club.

Overall a great local run. Well organised and marshalled. Superb scenery on a challenging but fun course. 

Definately doing this run again!
