Thank you to everyone who came along and took part in the Christmas Canter today, for the first time since we've held the race it was a sell out, sorry to any of those who were not able to get a place on the day.
We enjoyed sunny weather conditions with the rain holding off until the last finisher crossed the line, and there were some fantastic fancy dress costumes to entertain the many spectators.
We hope you all enjoyed the race, and the post-race mince pie and mulled wine, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
