In short: Rip off who's making the money here ?
In full: I must say it's a good route, nice and shady for half of it but it was hot and sunny for he first four K's. I know the area so found it comfortable, as it wound it's way round, but the start line could have been a bit better signed.
The big but here is the goody bag was very poor, cheap SIS bar and medal with getting on for 500 entries it's time taht there were fewer prizes for all the age groups and investment in the runners that make up the 'peloton'. Good luck to bushfield joggers, bu if it's like that next year they can stick it.

In short: Quick, but quite tough on the day
In full: Second time I've done this and it's definitely a good quick course, plus well organised, friendly and masses of prizes at the end too.
This year was both hot and breezy and I struggled towards the end, but managed to come home with a very nice prize, so well pleased overall.

In short: Fast course, great PB potential
In full: I found this a bit tougher than I was expecting, a couple of little inclines caught me out. It was a warm day so the run through the wooded section was welcoming. Nice crowd at the finish line. Would do it again.
