In short: Great race, got my litte legs racing along faster than for a long time! Hope to be back next year
In full: At the start the organisers apologised for a lack of toilets - now worries, there were no long queues and they still flushed! Nice goody bag too. Great value and it's only 20 minutes for me to get there. Parking fine too. Loved it.

In short: Apart from lack of toilets to start with, a good race
In full: A good race, for a great cause which made it even more special.
Would have been good if the people operating the water station at the 9 mile mark handed the drinks to the runners instead of just standing there and chatting was a little dangerous when trying to crab a drink from the table.

In short: Brilliant.....
In full: What an honour to race for Help for Heroes with so many of our brave armed forces perticipating. Great parking, well organised and a lovely route obviously planned by a runner themselves.
The only negative is that despite being sponsored by ICENI water the water stations gave out cups as opposed to bottles of water......a tiny negative!
This race was superb,
A great finish, chip timing and a wonderful goody bag.
Great support on the way and the organiser kept me updated with changes all week via E- Mail over any changes made.
Deserves to succeed and a great charity...will only get better.

In full: Nice route through small South Cambridgeshire villages with plenty of crowd support on the way round. Great marshals giving lots of encouragement. Nice technical T shirt in goody bag. I would definitely do this race again.
