← Cakeathon August Bank Holiday

This was my first SVN race and I had heard good things about them. It lived up to expectations. There seem to be a number of regulars who take part so felt like a nice community of runners supporting each other and not competing against each other. It was nice to pick what distance you wanted to do on the day, I used the race as a long training run as part of my marathon training. The route was scenic and harder than I had expected- it was quite hilly. I liked the bake off as part of the race, it was fun to see what creations people made and win a little trophy. All in all a simple, friendly event and I will definitely be back for another.
