A simple 5k looped trail race through the lovely Irchester Country park. Options for 5, 10 or 15k race. The race is often held twice (a few weeks apart) in February each year and this was my 4th time completing the race (15k). Each year varies depending on the weather. This year the weather was great which made the course quite easy. Other years when it has been very wet makes the hills much more challenging. The course meanders through the trails of the country park on a mixture of mud tracks and hard packed gravel trails. Each lap has one big(ish) hill which can get very muddy, and then a few other smaller 'up-slopes'. This is a simple race, cheap to enter, including on the day entry, a basic aid station (water) for each lap and a nice little 'mud splash' medal at the end. A great little no frills trail race to test out your winter training. For a video review- check out my Yourtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W9By-dBtBQ
