Friendly, well-organised, great course

Loved the fact that there was a tombola, barbeque and other entertainment going on even though I couldn't stay for it. If there was another race here apart from this annual event I'd do it (haven't checked yet so maybe there is)

sign posting could be improved, I missed an arrow

have you thought about running this event in the winter also? It is so nice running off road.

Beautiful but challenging!

Great event, so hard though! Those hills were something else!! Well organised and something for all the family. By 5 year old did the fun run, 10 year old did the 2.5k and i did the 10k. So nice to be able to come to an event together and all leave with a medal. I am shattered and sore but pleased i got round! Thank you!

Lovely venue but hilly, so not for the faint of heart

A few places could do with better directions. I nearly went wrong at the turning just before the church and the next time round, the person in front of me nearly did the same thing.
Would be nice to have an earlier start as it is always likely to be hot in June.
Thanks for a lovely race.

Good fun - presentation at the end poor

My son entered the 1km fun run and my daughter originally entered the 1km race then switched to 2.5km on the day. As a result of her switching her name was entered on the system so although she clocked a time (2nd overall and 1st girl) it wasn't put on the result sheet correctly. I checked with an organiser at the end that there would be a presentation for the children as was told there would be so we hung around until 11.30am (almost 2 whole hours after the 1km race had finished). They then didn't do a presentation for the 1km race (until Tracey Blandford who I know stepped in and made sure my son Charlie was given a prize for coming second). In the 2.5km presentation there was confusion as the results sheet was incorrect - my daughter came 2nd overall and 1st girl. I also don't understand why they weren't awarded certificates for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place male and females for the kids like they did for the adults. We paid our entry fee and it is as important for the kids to be recognised for their achievements as the adults. I also don't see why we had to wait so long for the presentations. I hope this helps with the organisation for next year. Many thanks.

Great route and very friendly organisation

Would have been handy to have gpx or proper route info beforehand as some of the hills were unexpected.

Check distance markers as I don't know anyone that recorded 10km using GPS watch, most I spoke to were around 9.5-9.8km (my Garmin logged 9.76km). Thanks
