Entered this as it looked like fun to go through the park before opening. A lot of the run is out of the park on a somewhat pot holey road so bare that in mind

Would have been good to run around more of the park rather than run 2 loops(10k)

Due to the park not being open it was unfortunate there were very few spectators. The course had a lot of pot holes and very few hazard signs and marshals to alert you to them. There could have also been another water station around 7-8km, particularly as it was so warm.

Fantastic race and really great value that the park entry was included for after.The medal is not as glam as previous medals, but I would 100% recommend this as a day out. Plus I got a 10k pb!Who needs showers when you can just go on tidal wave.

My first ever race/run and I loved every minute. Unfortunately I attended alone but all the staff are very friendly/welcoming and have a great fun, positive and encouraging attitude so made my experience so worth it. The course between the rides and the scenery of the lakes was lovely I almost forgot I was in a race as I was enjoying it so much! Thanks Lets Do This 🙂
