In short: Love this race - the villagers make it very special
In full: Mostly pretty scenery, no killer hills and good marshalling but it is the people in the village (especially the families) who turn out with water and hoses to help in the heat who make it really special. Well worth turning out to this one.

In short: Very well organised. Undulating but no killer hills. Short offroad section was unexpected but OK since it was dry. Would have preferred bottles to cups, didn't actually get much to drink. Nice medal but A T-shirt too would have been welcome, even if

In short: Having never run even 5 miles till a few weeks ago I was delighted to have finished and had a great time with great people
In full: I've lived in the village for 5 years and never realised how great the sports club is. Well done to you all, I had a great time and will be back next year.

In short: Really enjoyable run> Friendly atmosphere and good support on the course.
In full: A friend recommended this one after the heat of 2005. I'm glad I followed up on his advice and that the weather was a bit cooler. I will also be recommending this as one not to be missed. Thanks to all the marshalls and supporters. Well done!
