In short: Great way to spend a Sunday
In full: Firstly, hats off to those who did the full marathon. I ran as part of a relay team and there's no way I could have done three laps of that course! The atmosphere was great and the marshals excellent - very cheerful and friendly despite the drenching they got. I might well be back for more next year.

In short: Fabulous event, best ever marshalls!
In full: I was not expecting this race to be so good. I had a brilliant time, yes the weather was a bit biblical at times but the marshalls and other runners kept each others spirits up.
My sincere thanks to the organising clubs.

In short: A great varied 3 lap race. Great if you like laps
In full: A good race ran in and around the northern outskirts of Luton. It starts off in the subberbs and quickly leaves these and heads out in the the countryside. A few easy hills and you are then on a gradual downhill all the way to the finish. Then off you go again 2 more times.
The best marshalling i have ever experienced, especially considering the awful weather (horrizontal rain and strong winds).
