Bit confused to why it was 10k instead of 12 but I was happy about that. Need more marshals as someone had changed an arrow and markers and we went the wrong way lost places and time.

The course venue and race itself was amazing - 10k was enough with the sting in the tail!

Only grumble is that I thought I had entered a 12k(as did many others) and it was in fact 10k. Great trails though.

Really great race taking on some of the forest of Dean's many climbs. The organisers had created a relaxed, fun atmosphere and all the runners were buzzing. Looking forward to next year's race!
