In full: Second time I have travelled to this race and I can say I really like it. I totally agree with one of the other comments - Burton AC don't rip you off - something which is sadly getting too common lately

In short: Great two lap local race
In full: Enjoyable race
The hill isnt too bad and the downhill more than compensates
Thanks to all marashals and to all involved I'll be back next year

In short: Great Race!
In full: Did this race 2 years ago and thought it was great, did it again and think the same, Great race to get miles under the belt as just 1 challenging hill (TWICE) however the downhills compensate!! Just 1 point - get a new T-Shirt, same one as 2 years ago!!!! Multiple order I think!!!

In short: Well Organised and nice down hills.
In full: This was well organised and the last 2 miles of each lap seemed to be down hill, which is great to drive you home.

In short: A great local race in a beautiful riverside setting
In full: Don't know why I never got around to doing this one before. Exceptional value. A shaft of sunshine would have set the riverside scenary off nicely but you can't organise everything! They organised everything else though!

In short: nice first 10 miler
In full: Did enjoy the race, a nice mix was windy and there are some testing hills. One slight niggle would be the traffic from the side roads especially for the faster runners. Well worth the entry and a t shirt.

In short: Excellent local race.
In full: Great local race. Well organised 2 lap course. PB course. Good to do run organised by running club, as they don't rip you off. Only £9 to enter on the day & get tshirt. Recommend this to all.

In short: Nice race
In full: A hot day but plenty of water stops. Good support. A 2 lap course with only one hill of note at 7miles but with a steep downhill at mile 8 it compensates for this. The course makes Burton look picturesque taking you along the river floodplain. Nice T shirt given. Didn't like having to pay 2 quid for parking.
