In short: Great race despite the rain
In full: Yes the rain dampens the atmosphere a little but it wasn't too heavy and you hardly blame the organisers for the weather. Todays conditions were excellent for running. Well organised with friendly marshals (despite the weather).
My only gripe was the narrowness of the start. Chip timing or a wider start would help but it's not a major thing.
Bananas at the end were a godsend, and a nice t-shirt too.

In short: THe best race I've done over the past 12 months. Scenic route, friendly marshalls and locals - and I loved the rain.
In full: Good T-shirt and goody bag too. This race was recommended to me - what good advice!

In short: enjoyable - but bloomin wet!
In full: I did enjoy that - got a PB, and the t-shirt at the end is a good'un - mars bar and bananas much appreciated as well :o)
Pity about the weather though, cos although it was good for running in, it did dampen (sorry about the pun) the atmosphere and the supporteres were in dribs and drabs, but still very much appreciated!
Had a bit of a problem finding the start too -I know that sounds stupid, but because we'd driven in the opposite way to where the start was set up, there weren't any signs to show you where to go! (Did ask some helpful marshalls though and we got there eventually!)
