I remember running the first version of the sprint course 362 days ago, a couple of months into the first lockdown, and not thinking this event would ever happen, but I'm very pleased that a year on it has! I tried to plan the sprint course so that there were sections with a bunch of short fast legs with a little terrain variability, along with genuine route choice legs - for 10-11, I think taking the northern route is best! I saw a few Deer bounding past the start/finish which was unexpected, as is the great panoramic view from the top of the hill, which I hope you all managed to look up and see whilst running your courses, I think it's a lovely little park! Thanks to Paul for helping collect controls and David for SI and entries.
