The 5k run is an undulating course around the country park and provides plenty of twists and turns as well as a steep downhill section to pick up the pace and a gradual increasing incline towards the end of the big loop which is done twice.

Run director Ian Jones gave the briefing before the 5k and the team of volunteers ensured everyone had an excellent time.

The first finisher was Robert Weekes with a time of 18min 25sec with Alex Newton second in 18.47 and Tom Hoskinson third in 18.59.

Victory's Christine Riddington finished first lady as she completed the 5k in 22.03.
