Too hilly for beginners

I’ve completed the half and now the 10k. I think you need to mention that even the 10k is very hilly, even for walkers and you need to be fit to complete. I met a few people on the way that were struggling even while walking. There was meant to be a water stop along the way but when we arrived there was not water. Otherwise the atmosphere is always great.

Brilliant day out

My friends and I dressed up as The Lorax and participated in the 10km run. As noted above the event was well organised, we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely partake again. I would however include a more evenly spaced wine consumption route. Maybe 3 wines along the way vs 2 as we had estimated 7km between the first and last wines and for a “wine run” this was too long

Challenging but achievable 10k race with a twist of wine and good atmosphere and views

Would prefer if there was an alternative to vegeterian pulled jackfruit. Apart from the minor food concern thoroughly enjoyed the race fantastically organised and appreciaterge effort goes into this. The Denbies wines are gorgeous

Good event.

MORE TOILETS. 15min wait for a wee is not great.

So much fun

More gatekeepers at the start as way too many runners to begin with indicating a lot of folk just went
