In full: Beautiful sunny day this year and the usual excellent Hogweed Trotters organisation mean this is a marvellous tour of the Cotswolds in 13.1 tough miles with four major climbs. 2 Min PB this year means I will be back!

In short: An excellent, challenging road race that gives an immense feel good factor- afterwards!
In full: Quite the marvellous antidote to a large event. Excellently organised by a very enthusiastic team of runners. Beautiful location, stunning course and all the home-made cake you can eat. If John Betjemen was a runner, he'd do this race!
Showers, free massage, i can't think how it can be improved.
