this was recommended to me by a running friend and it didnt disappoint. The course is a cracker, loads of variety...you start by the racecourse and funnel through some woods (there is a bottle neck here so if you are speedy start right at the front!) then you hit the hill ! It is very steep and unless you are a bit of a mountain goat you wont be able to run up it but if you've got decent quads it's not that bad. After that there are inclines but nothing really major. You run along fields, bridle paths, wooded paths, a bit of road and farm track, chalk paths, a bit of everything !! It makes it interesting - it's reasonably challenging 

Organisation was excellent, easy to pick up numbers and drop off bags, no major loo queues.

Goody bag was great - fab medal and you get a glass which you can get filled with beer ! Yes beer ! Real beer ! 

Plus an ice cream van and burgers and all sorts.

There's hardly any support out on the course but that's to be expected. Great support at the finish line.

Plenty of marshals (who were superb) and very clear signage throughout

Free photos - and all the photos i had were the best photos ive ever seen from a race !! saved them all !

Really enjoyed this one and definitely want to do it again
