In short: Challenging race, Great Marshalls. Super!
In full: ABSOLUTELY LOVED the hoody top - what a very pleasant surprise. Was expecting something that just gets thrown in the draw!! A top that can actually be worn in future! Great marshalls, very postive and vocal. Super nibbles at the end too - very impressed with the energy bars, banana bits etc being handed out. The only slightly negative point would be to have a few more toilets, but this a problem whatever race you go to.
Overall, a great race, well organsised and lovin' the marshalls enthusiasm - it really does make a difference. Thanks!

In short: Usual course & good organisation, excellent marshalls as always
In full: Always has a special place in my heart as race is only 25 mins drive from home & has the pre London buzz about it. Love the challenging, undulating course. A special mention for the enthusiastic marshalls who do a fantastic job year in year out.

In short: Great race, marshals were excellent and loving the hoody! Those hills though...
In full: I really enjoyed this race. Its a challenging course with the hills but it presents a real challenge and enough downhills to compensate.
The marshals were out in force and were really helpful and I love the hoody (beats the box of medals I have somewhere!)
Nice after race food and drink available, will definitely be back.
