In short: Another one for next year
In full: Simply excellent - stunning views along the river bank. Helpful, friendly & supportive marshals. Good number of water stops. When the course was moved away from the river bank the route was well marked. Well organised & well supported at the end. Top Tip - when next year`s entries are open get in fast. Many thanks to Claire, Chris & their team for another great Purple Patch event.

In short: Lovely
In full: Well done Purple Patch!! Such a well organised event, plenty of marshalls & plenty of drinks stations. I was concerned due to the terrain this would be elitist but there was a good mix of runners of all abilities. My only superficial critisicm was the goody bag was a bit rubbish.
