"At only £6, a fast undulating run in mostly traffic free (a few cars do go by) countryside route. Changing facilities, medal, drinks at half way and end (with biscuits!), bar, spot prizes, and a PB. What more can you ask for, when it is well organised by positive marshalls." Silburbas "My favourite 10k. Excellent 10k race, very well organised and a course with real pb potential. My thanks to the Hogweeds again." Philbert "Excellent - lovely atmos nice friendly club" Jo Thompson ResultsHogweed Trot VIII:
