In short: No gimmicks, just a very enjoyable race
In full: An excellent on-road race. Having the start at the village fair made for an excellent atmosphere (with easy and close parking). Very much a no-gimmicks rural road race. Organisation was excellent and scenery was beautiful (excluding half a mile beside a main road!!). Nice to have a race on a Saturday.

In short: Lovely bumpy course, great portaloos ;)
In full: Lovely friendly atmosphere at the flower show, very inclusive for runners . Course truly urolling to start then flattened out,mainly around pretty country lanes . The usual bugbear of the tannoy man commenting on "serious" runners and "fun" runners.Those guys nearer the back were probably having less fun in the heat than those who stormed in first, and were equally serious about training. Rant over. It was a lovely little race, well marshalled,positions recorded by people not chips - the real grass roots of running. Thanks SLH

In short: Kebab, cake and plants galore - oh yes, and the race
In full: Having this as part of the village fair/show is great. I had a pre-race kebab, a post-race cake and came away loaded down with plants and other goodies. The encouragement from people at the the fair was worth it in itself. Highly recommended - hope to be back next year.

In short: Great race - well done!
In full: Hills just as I remembered and a good test. Good support and a cheer for every runner at the end. Then a look round the fair and even a ball in the evening - so a great day all round!
