A fantastic local event that sits perfectky in the calendar for any spring marathoners. Ive done this race for 6 years row albeit last years race was csncelled due to the beast from the east. I find its a early season run that sets me up for the year and gets me out during those cold dark winter months. The course is tough, its hilly and two loops which is mentally tough, i always joke about them putting in the hills on the second lap but thats how it seems!! Save something in your legs for the last mile too as its an uphill grind. One of the unique things sbout this event is the finisher hoodie which can then be worn as a badge of honour throughout the running season, every year they change the colour and its always great to get to the finish and see it, that and the cheese cob which is a staple in the goodie bag at the end. If you’re interested in this event be sure to set an alarm when entries go on sale as it sells out in 30 mins nowadays so best of luck!!
