Tokai Manor House Run–26 Dec 2012

Final Race for 2012 – and one of the most scenic. Another good entry level difficulty for those looking to get into trail running.
If you’re wanting to run this race – be warned that it’s become quite popular of the past few years, and a few runners thinking they’d enter on the day had to be turned away.
Also – since there’s only a single road into the parking area – get there early else you’ll be late for the start (I only made it with a few minutes to spare)
The first few km’s are paved – but the rest is all jeep track trail

The trail is quite tree dense – so even if the wind blows, it’s fairly sheltered.

Some awesome views are to be had when you reach the top contour path:

… and then back down through the forest to the end where some of the locals wait to cheer you on…
