I'm thinking of entering this one. As usual, all information about the course, the organisation, the accompanying 'fun day' gratefully received.

Hi Helen.

Great friendly run. Hard course, hilly in places. Well marshalled. Organisation good. Lack of changing facilities, but plenty of toilets (portaloos I think).

Fun day OK. Fufair and a few craft stalls. Car parking a fair way from the race HQ.

Definitely do it.

Doing it - this one has prizes, and I;m told, attracts a quality field. Wonder if there's a prize for last woman home :-)

Did it, enjoyed it, will do it again. It looked like a mob outing for Fairlands Valley club, more stripes than a herd of zebra.

Course was hilly in parts, with the hardest work close to the finish. Two water stations at 2 and 4 miles. Friendly event, and I did enjoy seeing the 'scarecrows' around the village, made me laugh.

The Fun Day was also enjoyable with Falconry, dog agility, jazz bands etc as well as various village stalls and the usual funfair/tombola type events.

My day was improved by managing to run in a 'good' time, for me.
