‘’I initially entered the Dan Lee Mill Race to help with fundraising efforts and to challenge myself. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy myself so much! The whole experience from the runner’s brief, right through to the award presentations contributed to a fantastic day out. The course was well thought out with varying terrain and elevation and the views were amazing. Even the post event food was top notch! I’m looking forward to taking part again this year and will be encouraging as many people as possible to do so. What a great event.”
