In short: Excellent
In full: First time I've done this one,& its obvious that the organisers have done it all before. Excellent organisation, marshalling, water, direction & mile markers. Being from south, didnt expect the nice scenery and was that Jodrell Bank I saw in the distance! No wonder the GPS worked so well!
All in all a very well organised and nice run out, with a degree of challenge in a couple of hills and enough people to make it cosy, but not crowded.

In short: Well organised, But I am glad I dont have to use the toilets at that shool!!
In full: Really enjoyed this as my first ever race. Am so chuffed that I finished. The sting was not as bad as I thought it would be, for me the uphill run by the superstore was much much harder even though it was only 2 miles in.
Friendly people but could of done with a bit more encorouging folk about.

In short: I really enjoyed the run this time. The sting in the tail was not as bad as I remembered, maybe it's because of the fell running I've got into over the last couple of years. Perfect weather conditions made it a good morning all round. Cheers !!
