SHORNE WOOD 5 by CraigB
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Tough in places scenic off-roader
In full: Run round country park tracks, lots of tree roots and stumps in places, but most clearly marked with day-glo paint....Some killer hills in there which slow the back half of the field to a walk....make sure you have some hill miles in your legs if you want to get round without stopping!!!!! Mostly ok though and a good local feel to the race

In short: As my first ever race I found it a bit hilly and the second lap was a little repetative. A shame that more was not made of the surrounding scenery.

In short: I would describe it as very hilly, not 'undulating'!!
In full: My first half-marathon and I came away with a severe knee injury from all the downhill runs. Well attended and well organised, but perhaps not for the beginner!

In short: Long steep uphill at the beginning, then 8 miles or so to get your breath and legs back before running back down again.
In full: Keep coming back to this race, 1990, 1997 and now 2004 . .
Without being disrespectful to Stroud AC, it's cheap and it's cheerful . . £5 to enter on the day . . well organised and well marshalled race . . clean changing and showers . .
See you in 2011 :)
