I loved the feel of this race so much last year that I returned for the second year to support this incredible cause! In the year since this fundraising started this awesome community have raised enough money to put a new cinder surface down on the track! It looks incredible and feels even better compared to running on the old, warn out and rutted surface. However it's not been easy for these guys! Just 24 hours before the race some criminals abandoned a burnt out car on the track. It was set fire to after joyriding on the track causing a lot of damage and leaving the track covered in glass etc.

Luckily this mindless act was no match for the determination of this community and they rallied together to clean up the mess and make sure the track was ready for the race. Unfortunately the white lines could not be repaired in time but what a turnaround from unusable to race ready!
This is a tough 10km trail race but the community spirit and incredible marshals giving you so much support on course are what to come for. I can't recommend this race enough. It's going in my calendar every year that's for sure!
