Thinking of giving this a go. I presume it's 2 laps of the forest trails? If so does anybody know what condition under foot are like and weather it would be considered a fast course?

Was going to run the Teachers CC tomorrow, but this may suit better as its just up the road from me. Only heard about the race yesterday, and online entries are closed. Can anyone confirm if there are on the day entries available? If not, its back the Cross Country!

Well done everyone in involved in this race. A really well run event, nice scenery and the sandwiches were great at the end. The beautiful weather today didn't hurt of course.

Happy enough with my own time. Didn't break any records but I just wanted to get out there as I've had a really annoying year in terms of injuries.

Glad I decided to do this instead of the Cross Country! Very well organised event - well done to Donedea AC - and great weather for it too. Well done to Barry (Bazman) and Sarah for their wins. Happy to break 40 minutes myself (39m 33s) - first time in a while.

Great race,like this one through the forest trails,lovely this time of year and especially in the autumn sun this morning 😃. Only seen it was on last minute last night.

Think its my third or fourth time doing this event and still one of the best 10k races around. Well run event by all in Donadea and a lovely course.

I was shocked in a good way how they had put markings on the road for sub 40, sub 45 etc and crazily people slotted into the right sections as they were no crazy bunching at the start. Other races could copy this idea.

Thanks to all in Donadea for today's run. Very friendly and great support. A nice way to spend a morning.
