In short: Very well-organised and scenic, really good.
In full: Even the hill at the end wasn't too bad, although I'd say it was more undulating than flat in between the two hills. Great, efficient registration, and I appreciated the sponges.

In short: Extremely well organised and definite PB potential
In full: First time in Congleton and found the course definitely had PB potential as although a couple of hills, they aren't that bad and it is mostly flat in between. Not much support due to being on rural roads, but that didn't spoil it for me as it was nice not to have traffic getting in the way! Really enjoyed the run and will more than likely be back again next year. Thank you to all the helpers and organisers.

In short: Great race,mostly flat in beautiful countryside
In full: This one is a must for next year
Great course,mostly through country lanes in rural Cheshire.
Very well marshalled,plenty of water/sponge stations.
Very well organised race,registration beforehand was fine.
My only gripe would be 'selling' the t-shirts for a fiver after the race!!

In short: Great pb potential with good scenery
In full: I really enjoyed this race ,especially as I got a PB of 1.30.45.Knocked a whole 5 mins off my previous. The route was really scenic and the quiet country lanes really to my liking.The marshalling was good although a couple more drink stations would have been beneficial.All in all I thoroughly enjoyed it.
