It was very well signed all the way rounds and picturesque setting. Marshals were all friendly and great cafe for hot drink after. Loved the touch of mince pies and Jaffa cakes at the end too!

The official starting the race was great, nd people were friendly and helpful..the Forest was as lovely as ever (and will be even lovelier without ITB Syndrome!!!😬) ..but if the race starts at 10.00 please don't send emails saying it starts at 9.50!! It made the wait at the start even longer than it should have been, enough time to get cold.!! Love these events. Thank you :)
