In short: Challenging course. Excellent organisation. Friendly marshalls. I echo the comments of others about the momento, a small cake. I can remember when we used to get a print of a pub or church on the course - excellent. Still I'll be back next year.

In short: Enjoyable and attractive course with little in the way of flat - always felt like running uphill or downhill! organisation and marshalls were excellent, though i'd have preferred a hat, t-shirt or medal to a small cake

In short: 3rd year in a row so can't be that bad!
In full: Usual high standard of organisation, plenty of supportive marshals, plenty of drink stations with bottles (take note Worksop)
Share comments regarding goodie bag, ok the cake was nice but its gone now, a couple of years ago we got an embroidered woolly hat which I still wear, 1 day cake vs 3 year hat, mmmmm not a tough one to work out.
Still I'll be back next year I'm sure

In short: Fab race
In full: Once again it was a super day at Clowne
we really enjoyed it, clocked 2.15, have run much quicker there, but Philip is heavy now, and next week we have a full marathon, so kept the pace down
have NO complaints at all, well done to all oragnisers at Clowne

In short: Nice local race...........................................
In full: shame about the poor goodie bag and memento a factory made bit of cake!!! Not impressed after slogging 13.1 miles. Other then that it was a nice course with more then enough water stations.

In short: a pleasant run with good organisation and a few hills!
In full: I really enjoyed running this today, I thought it was well organised and friendly. The course wasn't the easiest in the world, very undulating but it was very scenic in places and I would certainly do it again.
