I was a little bit let down with this race unfortunately... Easy to sign up to and plenty of emails keeping me up to date with everything. The route started in the Woodbank Park which was lovely and then leads you out into the housing estates of Stockport. You do go through some lovely, scenic areas then back through the housing estates and finishing on the running track in Woodbank Park. It is definitely a challenging course and I would not recommend it for anyone not use to running up and down some pretty long and steep inclines. I was disappointed for a couple of reasons. The first one being, I was hardly running with people at the back of the pack but still the first water station at 4 miles had run out of water. Not impressed with this at all. This is something very important during a 10 mile race and to run out of water at a water station is unacceptable. The next water station was at 8 miles and we ended up running into a nearby shop to purchase a drink. Secondly, I really did not feel safe for the majority of the route as it was open roads where cars are travelling at 60mph, I very nearly got clipped a couple of times. Thirdly, there were signs showing which way to go for most of the route but we did come across plenty of sections during the housing estate part where there were no marshalls, no signs and multiple different routes, we very nearly got lost a couple of times. The medal, t-shirt, free running socks and goodie bag at the end were great! It's a lovely medal. Not 100% sure that I will be going back though.
