The Women-only format proved popular with Emma (2nd vet) saying "it was a very welcoming atmosphere for a runner at their first venture out of their comfort zone". Jane (2nd super vet) said " thanks for an enjoyable and fun Sunday morning, had such a brilliant time". Grazyna (2nd overall) added "it was a very nice race, everything was clear and well organised. Thanks again for an awesome event".

A big thanks must go to the marshals and supporters that turned out on such a miserable day.
