The first 5 Peaks race of the season kicked off to a great start with a sizeable turnout and perfect running weather. I really like this Race Series because they give you a chance to volunteer and run the race on the very same day – you don’t have to choose one or the other. Another bonus is that if you volunteer you get a free race entry which you can use on the same day or in the near future.
The race was VERY well marked and I know this because I volunteered to pick up all the little flags and markers with teammates David & Lindsay (it took over 2 hours to clean a 10km course). The footing was good too despite the rain from the night before. The course was beautiful and scenic and I definitely recommend it to everyone.
Final stats 54:51.8 (5:27min/km), 7/20 age group
