In full: Very well organised race. Mostly flat or downhill for the first 3 miles, flatish for 4th mile, then the hill in the last mile. Then try and get your breath back for the final sprint to the line !! Nice refreshments after the race as well.

In short: Lovely race. The hill's a pain but unless all you worry about is PBs (or minimum pain) then it's a nice low key, scenic race.
In full: There's good parking, plenty of helpful and smiling marshalls, a lovely route through the countryside and then tea and cake afterwards - not much more you could ask for from a local event (or any for that matter).
Ideally there wouldn't be a bit of a big hill after 4 miles or a temperature a few degrees hotter than ideal, but the former just adds to the challenge and the latter to your tan.
I need to run a different 5 mile race to set a good PB but I'll continue to run this one for fun anyway.

In short: Well organised race
In full: My first time running this local race and I will be back in the future. A very quick first four miles followed by a longish hill thru' the fifth mile. I was a bit tired after the first four so found the hill a struggle. Course not traffic free but well marshalled so no concerns. Nice finish at the local school and good amenities provided. Well done Highworth running club

In short: watch out for the hill after 4 miles and you get a t-shirt
In full: flat for 4 miles with little downhills, then a steep hill after 4 miles for about 250m then generally ok until end with a field finish, well organised, t-shirt to all finishers is good. lots of marshalls - thanks for them! Lots of parking, nice cakes at end!
