In short: A credit to Befrod Harriers and especially their marshalling
In full: A very interesting course; tough for 6 miles and not much easier 6-9 then super fast from 9-10 and quite quick all the way in from there. Great marshalling throughout. Good
rugby shirt memento and great facilities at the end; warm showers and tea with bacon and sausage sandwiches!

In short: An excellent race with superb organisation...and I got a PB :)
In full: I really enjoyed this race, and the organisation could not have been better. I used the coach transfer and it worked perfectly, there were more than enough toilets, everything was easy. Race itself was very hilly, yes, but the exhilaration of running down the big hill at mile 9/10 made it all worth while. Love the rugby shirt (although would have preferred a medal) and had a great day. Would also like to mention Jack from the Bedford Harriers, who was running. He was amazingly encouraging to all the runners around him, whether he knew them or not, and certainly helped me get my PB. Thanks Jack!

In short: Well done Bedford Harriers
In full: Bedford Harriers certainly know how to organise a race. Didn't use the bus transfer but that seemed to go like clockwork too. Well done Bedford - you always get it right.

In short: for me this race is quite simply "The Best"
In full: yes it is a bit challenging in places but providing you have behaved yourself the night before you can pb on this one.
Excellent organisation, Super Marshalls
Great Course, Great Momento
5 Star

In short: Well organised event for cold and hill lovers
In full: It's December, and the course is very hilly - mostly uphill, somehow. Even the last mile. Don't know about PB, but it's good fun if you like this sort of thing. Views from the hiolls are rather nice.
Organization very good, lots of marshalls, well organized changing and showers, and baggage storage. I was not very keen on bus transfers, but they worked quite well. And the shirt is one of the best "mementos" I've seen on the circuit.

In full: No frills but extremely well organised, superb course, enthusiastic marshals and a really nice rugby shirt for a memento. Definitely a race to add to the calendar.

In full: Well organised, mildly challenging route through countryside, good rugby shirt memento and very friendly and encouraging marshalls (and photographer) - especially the lady in green at 8 miles. Another well organised race from Bedford Harriers. WELL DONE.
