Loads of silly fun!
It starts and ends round the corner from the National Trust cafe so it's a fun place to gather in your various Christmas outfits. The course is on the old military road so it's more road than trail on a dry day, but it makes the route easy to follow. I couldn't hear anything the race director said at the start line, luckily it probably wasn't anything important anyway.
If you don't drive then find a friend who does because there's no buses there on a Sunday, you have to run 10km just to get there from Weston-super-mare like I did.
