In short: Well-organised and good fun, except the Memorial Park!
In full: Excellently organised race, good atmosphere and a good mix of times. Bit of an uphill slog in places but plenty of downhills too. Only downside was the calamity of running around Memorial Park near the end, but a minor gripe on a good event. Be back next year!

In short: Excellent race...
In full: Well done to the organisers, this was excellent.
The course was great this year, only minor changes needed for next year(memorial park!). I really hope number of entries is restricted for the future - it's an excellent race because the size of it is just about right.

In short: Varied route, 1st class support, no nasty hills - superb
In full: Fantastic race and atmosphere, Marshalls were great fun as were the cheerleaders in the Uni. Couldnt fault the course, pure speed all the way round. Only grump would be the chip collection -no idea??? the emails a few days before further added to the confusion ... had to give up. Other than that, the endless gifts at the end were a real fab finishg to a great event!!
