The course
This is a privileged and unique chance to run on a traffic-free course over private land through an historic deer park and ancient woodland.
With stunning views, your run will take in a beautiful lake, Victorian follies, a Chalybeate spring, and mysterious sand caves.
The hilly 10 mile (approximately!) one lap course is on tracks, grass and woodland trails — normally delightfully muddy in places - and some sections are steep, rutted and narrow.
Quotes
Here's what some of 2007's runners said on the Runner's World website:
"Probably the best cross country race in the world!!"
"Suffering, stunning, tough, beautiful, underrated, perfect!"
"A great race that I'll definitely be doing again next year."
