In short: Excellent race - definately worth doing
In full: As with a lot of Bupa races a bit pricey to enter - basically you are paying for the t-shirt. However excellent atmosphere and the hilliness adds to the challenge. Excellent organisation and the support of chearing crowds along the way definately helps.

In short: Why finnish with a hill
In full: Well off my PB but didnt set out for that as am running the GNR in 2 weeks so this was to keep me motivated. It is a depressing out and back run finishing up a hill into city center. Well organised, but compared to Sheffield Half support from Sheffielders is lack lustre so it just felt like going through the motions, my 5th race this year and by far my least favourite
