In short: Roll on Silverstone 2006.
In full: A very slight drag about 2/3rd of the way around the circuit slows it down a little. You will also have to take the racing line, but who's complaining? Excellent organisation, a race clock at half way, and a chance to stroll down the pit lane at the world famous motor racing circuit. Well worth it..

In short: Second time running around the track- knees hurt
In full: Very glad the weather held off unlike last year. It is fantastically well organised though and is a great experience. Agree with some of the other comments about mile markers (some miles were very long!)Agree that KM markers would help the slower and beginner runners to keep motivated.

In short: Dull but fast
In full: Course fast but tedious - not convinced about the spacing of the mile markers. No drinks station. Not even so much as a banana when you finished - had to hunt for the water. No motivation for the slower runners who must have finished in the dark. However, a good pb circuit if that is what you are looking for.

In short: Well organised race, easy course (and interesting for petrolheads like me)
In full: The entry to this race gets larger every year, and deserves to. It's an easy race to just turn up, warm up and run, and the course is self explanatory (but there are friendly marshalls at regular intervals anyway). And you run round the Grand Prix circuit, so you really get to see what Michael Schumacher sees, only 180mph slower...

In full: Good value race and the rain held off - just
Nice wide track therefore plenty of room for overtaking or being overtaken, just like F1
Well done Silsoe joggers & MKAC
