Did the race in 2023
It was a brilliant atmosphere. The course itself was great, running through the trees, etc. Have given it four instead of five stars as it was a four-loop course. Would have been better, in my opinion, if the loops were longer so there were only two, or even longer to have only one loop, would have been magnificent. Thanks.

Did the race in 2023
It was really lovely - some narrower paths meant it was difficult for people to get past. There wasn’t as much atmosphere around the course as other events so that might be something to bear in mind next time.
