This is a very good race with quite a fast course. The location is beautiful and a pleasure to run through the grounds. You do have to be aware that the park is open to the public and their dogs at the same time who will be using the pathways you're running on.

Although not entirely set inside the park the stretch of road used outside is a closed road and marshalled very well.

The only downside was the entering of the location which was frankly chaotic and the queues with our vehicles went on for hours. This is not an exaggeration. I had to park my car and run to the start which had thankfuly been delayed but not by long enough so I received no race briefing which obviously includes safety advice. The race started as I reached the start line so no time for any stretching etc either.

Would I do this again? Yes I would as I'm hoping that the parking situation has been addressed this year.
