← Oundle 20 Mile, 10k & 5k

I signed up for this a bit last minute, under some peer pressure from some friends who I train with. We arrived well in advance, parking was via local roads but there was plenty of it. On arriving at the school there were plenty of loos and a nice indoor area to change and grab a tea or coffee. The race started promptly on a bit of a downhill which was a nice change. The course meanders through the local villages and country lanes of the area, when you did manage to look around there was plenty of beautiful countryside to occupy your mind. Support was great. From memory there are no big hills, but the course does undulate throughout. The weather was mixed and we experienced all 4 seasons in a few hours, but that didn't dampen the weekend. A cracking event and a great way to prepare for an upcoming marathon, I would definitely recommend it and will consider it again next year!
