In short: Fast Course (if windy today) with excellent organisation
In full: Excellent organisation and a very fast course, though the wind took the edge off it today. Most impressed with the live reults on the website too! Shame about the couple of short stretches of grass verge, and the narrow pavement along the A40 (into the wind!), but difficult for the organisers to safely avoid these I guess. Cakes, tea and sausage rolls at the end were a bargain!
One question though - was there really only one sit down loo for the blokes or did I just not look hard enough?

In short: Kinda new to racing (this being my 4th event) but obvious that this is a great event. Great atmosphere around the school with lots of friendly, helpful people around. I expect I'll be running this event for many years to come. Many thanks

In short: race was brilliant as always
In full: Race was brilliant as always. Flat, fast, well organised, very friendly, hot showers and great cakes. Despite the very good conditions, I am not sure it rose above -5 throughout the race, the course was quick, frost and ice free, gritted where required and extremely well marshalled by enthausiastic and encouraging marshals despite the fact that they must have been so cold.

In short: Brilliant race as normal
In full: It's definitely a PB course, as shown by so many runners I know today. But it's just at the wrong time of year for me - I'm never really fit enough for it! Great facilities - lovely coffee and cake afterwards and the shower was lovely and warm (I didn't have one - I was just told!). The marshals and organisers did an amazing job.

In short: Another well organised event
In full: Agree with previous comment. The marshals are the stars on a day like today. Have done this a number of times and always enjoy it.
Well done to everyone involved.

In short: A proper road raceon a good course
In full: It was below freezing the whole day - minus 4 at race start. The organisers and their wonderful crew of marshals did not allow this to affect the race in any way. It must have been so cold standing out on the route, but without them there would be no race. They were the stars of the event - not any of us runners. It is a nice course through and round the town, with no hills, only a few gentle inclines and some real fast bits. Good T shirt too ....
Well done Eynsham!

In short: Freezing fun
In full: Despite the freezing temperatures the course wasn't icy and was in great condition to run on. Great support from the marsahalls who must have been beyond cold.
Thankfully the Race HQ was in the school hall so the pre and post race gatherings were nice and warm.
Was there supposed to be ice in the drinks supplied at the end? Or was it just so cold that it was Mother Nature's little gift to us all?
Excellent run and look forward to doing it again. Well done to everyone involved on an incredibly cold day. Brrrrrrr.
