Northaw Great Wood
Northaw always offers good running for beginners and experts alike. A Saturday Series event is in some ways even better than the larger Jack of Herts event last year:
- Everything is much more compact, there’s no 1500m walk to/from the start/finish.
- The infamous ‘garrotting’ fence is not in play.
