In short: Loved it, did a PB so can't complain!
In full: It was tough getting up to race this morning, so cold and the ice on the roads round where I am were a little off putting. But I am so glad I made the effort and will be back. It would be good to do this one on a clear blue sky day! Thought the organisation was fab, friendly marshalling, great price. Thanks.

In short: A challenging course, but worth the trip every year.
In full: The last time I ran Clowne was in 2005, it was well organised then and it's as well organised today.
The hills are spread out, but its a challenging course - at least the weather cleared up. Mile markers were perfectly placed, matching with my Garmin.
It's not a spectator course, although those that braved the cold, certainly gave you an uplift.
The momento was great, a laser etched glass block - and the cookie biscuit went down a treat. Shame the bacon sandwiches had all gone by the end - I was gagging for one of those :-)
No complaints, will be back next year - Thanks CRRC :-)

In full: Well done Clowne, smiling but cold marshalls made this special.

In short: Lovely course, Well organised.
In full: I had a frigging stinker but once I realised that I was struggling (at 2 miles!!) I decided to just get round. One or two problems with the first drinks station but apart from that really good. Will come back next year and knock 15 minutes off this years time!!

In short: Well organised race. A few dip sticks in a hurry in their cars spoilt the hard work of the marshalls i. Plenty of well stocked water stations and loads of great support on the way thanks very much.

In full: At my age I wanted to remember this day for a change and this race certainly gave me that .Some of the hills I found hard work , but some were gentle .I had hoped for a pb but it didnt happen .Next year it will , I just hate driving long distances
