My friend and I done the 10k this morning. The route was well sign posted and it was a great trail run.

Amazing day

Quite organised event and the communication from start was very smooth via email. I needed to adjust my kid's distance couple times due to her health but it was no problem at all. The day itself was great, nice weather and beautiful route, great merchandise after run. I noticed it wasn't good crowd though, it was less fewer people participated than I expected and no music, less stalls etc. It was one of quiet run that I ever attended but to be honest, it didn't bother us at all. Thank you for such good day.

Very friendly route for a trail run.

Shame it wasn’t busier. Spot on organisation but prefer some more hills!

Great experience

Today I returned to do the 10k (I did it last year too). The trail route is beautiful and everything was so well organised. I love the socks given out at the finish and will make this race an annual occurrence. Thanks to all involved.

Lovely run through the woods with excellent signage and marshalls.

The 5k is accessible for beginners or for those like myself who are old and getting slower. It has a friendly atmosphere and it was nice to have a pair of socks at the end.
