In short: GREAT RACE!
In full: I really enjoyed the race even after my calf went at the top of the first hill.I had to nurse it all the way round.The event was run really well ,and the people running it were very friendly.my only complain was water in cups,i know its cheaper but i would gladly pay a couple of pound more for bottles,but saying that i will do it again next year.(thats if you can flatten those nasty hills in the first few miles!)

In short: Lovely scenic race
In full: A lovely scenic race with some challenge hills and wind. Good bag at the finish was a bit poor and one of the water station had run out of water for the slower runners. Some great encouraging marshalls

In short: Hillier than I thought it would be, also no sign posts in town to direct traffic or runners to start/registration.

In short: Beastky hills and glorious views
In full: A bog standard, well organised run. Pity they ran out of water for slower runners at the 10 mile mark... meant I had to run 6 miles with no fluids which really hurt!
Lovely t-shirt, great atmosphere!

In short: Very well organised & surprisingly fast course.
In full: Superb organisation - collecting the chips & numbers went very smoothly, plenty of marshalls & drinks round the course and no bottle necks or queues at the finish!
The course is undulating all the way round but all the hills are quite gentle and none longer than about a mile, the hardest bit is between 10 and 12 miles so the downhill finish was very welcome!
Well done Worksop Harriers
