In short: Exceptionally good organisation and very convivial atmosphere, a truly great race. A real speedy course, not many this flat in Yorkshire!! This is what it's all about, it made the GNR look like blatant profiteering .....

In short: This is the best of them all - a real winner. The best marshall of them all.
In full: From the happy smiling marshalls to the facilities, from the perfectly flat course to the great atmosphere and from the organisation to the shedload of PB's this is by far the best event I've ever done.
I love it and I'll be back.
Thanks

In short: It's very good! Flat, fast, and suberbly organised
In full: Organised so well it rang like clockwork. Increadibly well marshalled. Congratulations to all involved, I'd buy you all a drink but don't think I have that much money. Great course, quite scenic considering the lack of hills and so fast I knocked spots of my PB. The lack of snow, cold wind, rain also helped.

In short: fantastic race, flat as a pancake, superbly organised , very friendly and great sweatshirt
In full: 4th time I've done this one, it just gets better. Really fast course, very encouraging and supportive marshalls all the way round, superbly organised at the start and the finish and one of the best if not the best sweatshirts around. Will wear mine with pride ! All this and perfect running weather, cold but not too cold, no wind, clear skies, what a great race
