In short: Wonderful race!
In full: This race is always a pleasure to run. Smooth organisation, friendly marshalls, chip timing and traffic-free country lanes make for a fantastic experience. Nice undulating route and the hill at 7km really isn't bad at all. To those who complain about the narrow lanes I say "it's the countryside - what do you expect?!" The introduction of a start in time groups really helped with previous congestion problems at the start. It certainly was a smooth start, especially considering the record entry. The only minus was the poor goody bag at the end, but this isn't why I race so really not a big deal. Well done to the organisers and the marshalls. I heartily recommend this race and will be back next year!

In full: Although gusty and a hill at 7k a very fast rural course. Congratulations to the organisers who make it run like clockwork. I would certainly recommend to other runners. Although not in favour of medals for short races the medal given was good quality not the normal rubbish.
