Lovely to take part but was just the park run route which you can do every Saturday. Not too many people took part so lacked a bit of buzz (not your fault!)

Fantastic event that was so well organised and such friendly and encouraging team from the moment we arrived. The beautiful medal at the end was an unexpected bonus not to mention the generous drinks and snacks. So glad to hear they plan to do it next year as I will definitely put it on my calendar.

Something to mention to a Marshall’s. I fully appreciate their volunteering, but I was with my wife, who isn’t a runner, and we were last. When we rounded a check point we were asked if we were in the race. We were dressed in Santa hats and jumpers, and the question was irrelevant. But it was quite derogative and not motivational.
