Thanks to Paul W for his report from the East Harling 10K. A new event for Paul, it sounds like it ticks all the boxes:
A last minute decision to enter this event which I have never ran and very glad I made that choice.
Race HQ was located at E Harling sports field and club, about 55 min drive from Fakenham.
Parking was straight forward, on the sports field within a minute walk to registration.
This again was easy and efficient with friendly faces.
The race start time was 10.30 with a warm up aerobics ( for those who wanted to take part) at 10.15.
Following this was the race briefing and then a few second walk to the start line.
The run itself started on time and left the playing field past the club and onto road.
This took us a few hundred meters along a B road before turning down a quiet country lane to Bridgman. After 5K we left the tarmac road on to gravel tracks and then trails through Harling woods for 3K.
Leaving the woods we were back on a quiet tarmac road through West Harling for the last 2K back to the sports field.
On reaching the field we entered the opposite side to which we left with a short run to the finish line in front of the club, facilities and plenty of support.
The route was very well signposted with plenty of marshals encouraging along the way. A water station was at approximately 5K with many marshals after with water bottles if needed.
Very well organised event which I would definitely it hesitate to do again.
