My participation in this event happened almost by a fluke. 

I became aware on this event when somebody mentioned it on Twitter. 

All distances were covered. Races happened each day over a 7 day period. There was a campsite option for those who fancied doing races over several days. Course was on decent road surface.

All good thus far.

Only problem was Salwick is a bit tucked away for somebody traveling for one day only, using public transport. 

I took a very, very late decision to enter and travellled early morning from Leeds to Peeston. B&W Taxi from station to race HQ was £18 although there are cheaper taxi options  

On the day registration was simple enough. There was a warm, friendly atmosphere. Event staff were very helpful & chatty. 

I took up the marathon option. Race was a 6-lap route on decent road surface. 

I would describe the course as mixture of flat/undulating with nice scenic views to enjoy.

Marshall support was 1st class but nature of course meant local support was non existent.

As the field spread out, it became quite a lonely race. It almost felt like a solo LSR.

Aid station was at end of each lap allowed plenty of options to refuel.

There were lots of encouragement from event staff. 

Finishers were rewarded with a top notch medal. 

There was also a merch stand & massage option. 

I very much enjoyed this race.

Organisers, Time2Run put on a great day. 

Would I do this race again? Yes, I certainly would. 

Using campsite facility is something I will do next time.
