In short: Good, well organised
In full: A good, well organised race. Good parking, no traffic, very pleasant surroundings. Quite challenging for an older runner like me especially with a fiece wind against you on some stretches, but as I got under my target of 45mins I'm happy anyway. Definately will run it again if it's on next year.

In short: The racecourse and surroundings wasn't looking its best on a dull and windy day, but a good race, and the first one I beat the hour, so I'm chuffed!

In short: Quite a hard route with the mix of ground/hills but I'm sure it would have been better without the wind!

In short: Reasonable course, good scenery but low on atmosphere
In full: Lower turn-out than I expected. Would have been nice to have a map of the course beforehand. It was a bit on the windy side but the course itself was quite good.

In short: Hilly and fast
In full: Bit too steep for my liking and too small and quick to be truly beginner-friendly, but extremely well-organised and friendly.
