In short: Knocked almost 10 minutes off my PB
In full: The event was advertised as having changing facilities unfortunately they were not apparent and due to no fault of the Harriers the toilets were frozen. That said I ran with a club mate and we had hoped to knock 6 minutes off our PB on this two lap course. In the end she managed 11 minutes off her time and I was just under 10 minutes. Many of the marshalls were supportive and kept our spirits up. I will certainly be running this one again.

In short: Good PB potential
In full: Enjoyable race on outskirts of Peterborough. Rather winding route with small section along woodland footpath and several underpasses & bridges but still very quick pace possible. Well marshalled although start not clear and heard no announcements. No chip timing but soon over the line and most of my club managed PBs so smiles all round. Agree that a choccy bar or healthy bar at the end would have been welcomed. All in all a good morning and thanks to the Harriers for braving the arctic temperatures to ensure smooth running of this race. Will be back!

In short: Lovely course to set a PB!
In full: A very fast course with friendly marshalls. There are quite a lot of bollards en-route though, so watch where you run! Marshalls did shout out warnings at bollard-areas. Excellent value for money, although could have done with a nice choccy bar or some sort of food at the finish!

In short: Unusual course, taking in housing estates, roads, paths, tracks and underpasses...all surprisingly distracting, in a good way. Quick flat course so PB territory. Medal would've been nicer than water bottle next time please.

In short: Job done but nothing special
In full: The goody bad was just a bag, no tshirt or momento, so no frilly extras this time. The rugby club hosting the HQ was friendly, though there was no sign of the showers advertised on the RW event page.
The race itself was "okay", no sign of a starting gun, or "GO", just alot of suprised people starting over an unseen start line; marshalls were friendly and helpful, the course was playful and the off-road woody part fine.

In short: An honest race, fast, good value and unpretentious
In full: This course manages to replicate the type of weekday training route most of us have to do during the winter evenings under streetlamps. It requires a lot of marshalls to make it work so well done NVH, a good race for club runners

In full: Nothing special, didn't even hear the start,distinct lack of marshalls on the way round.
no water at the end ! terrible, though a rather disgruntle, rude lady did shout that there was a bottle in your bag.
No clock at the end either.
Oh well, should have saved my £10
