After my fantastic experience last year how could I not go back to run Rudding Parkrace?! It was the biggest year yet with around 150 more runners than last year.

Expectations were high but support during the race exceeded last year's for sure! The trails were just as beautiful and I really enjoyed the race itself. The finish line party was just as good with a medal, water, ice cream, food, beers, fruit, and of course the infamous goody bag! Was the goody bag as good as last year? Probably not quite but not by much at all... It was still absolutely fantastic! I didn't have the surprise of the finish line party that blew me away last year but the experience was still great. I'd highly recommend this race... Only I don't need to as it's a sell out each year and it's not hard to see why!

A great 10km trail race in a beautiful setting with a great post-race experience. What's not to love?!
