In full: What a fantastic day - felt like the first day of spring! Great scenery and friendly support from the marshalls and locals. Worth the 1 1/2 hr drive! It might have been the sun and scenery but I didn't find the hills that bad!

In short: Yet again a great race - cannot fault anything
In full: I can only agree with the other comments - a great race, superbly organised, fantastic marshalls, brilliant weather again and as others have mentioned, wonderful cakes to sample at the end !
My only gripe, which has nothing to do with the race itself, is the amazing selfishness of one of the very early finishers (possibly even the race winner ?) who decided to run into oncoming runners at about mile 12 when we were on the path, with parked cars along the side of the road, with nowhere else to run ! How selfish can you get - I hope if he or one of his club collegaues reads this he will be suitably embarrassed !

In short: Superb countryside, with an unexpected number of hills. Very well organised and well marshalled/signposted - I'll be back for next year. And the medal was classy

In short: Beautiful Scenary, great organisation - really enjoyed it!
In full: Great organisation - thanks Norwich Road Runners, and some of the friendliest and happiest marshalls i've experienced. My first time at this race, car parking was well organised - no queues for toilets - fantastic cakes, and to top it off a glorious day for a lovely run in the "Undulating" Norfolk countryside!!

In short: Where did that hill come from at mile 11?
In full: My first ever organised event and the first time ever running over 9 miles - and those last 4 did hurt a bit, especially that drag up the hill at mile 11!!
Well organised event and a nice sunny day for a run round the Norfolk countryside!! I may well be back next year, as long as my knees last that long.
