In short: Lovely evening race - despite the hill...
In full: Really enjoyed this race, despite the hill at 5k and the rain! Don't know if I was just very slow, but there no burgers by the time I reached the finish :-(

In short: Great mid-week race for all.
In full: Good value race for all ablities around an undulating course with a few hills to conquer, not a p/b course but with the lure of a free t-shirt, beer & food at the end what else do you need ? See you all next year !

In short: Awesome race
In full: Really good race, I was very close to my PB and considering the hills I thought that was pretty good! Was great to finish and get a t- shirt, beer and burger! A race which is well worth doing.

In short: Well organised, scenic but challenging race.
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed the event - bit disappointed with my time (tried to get under 50 mins but the hill at 5k put paid to that). Good mix of runners, nice range of abilities so would suit beginners. Very social - beer and burger at the end was a nice touch, even if queue for burger was a bit long. Only reservation about coming next year is that it's quite a trek from where I live and I travelled up on my own so would probably only come if there was a bunch of us and we made an evening of it.

In short: Well organised - fantasic scenery - challenging hill
In full: This was my second- time and despite being over a minute slower that last year really enjoyed it. The organisation is good and the course is challenging particluar after the first 4k. Was pleased they gave you the beer with the T Shirt this year as the queue for burger is long.

In short: Another great Bugatti - well done to Andy & his marshals, timekeepers & helpers.
In full: Pleasantly cool this year, but the hill gets no easier. I recommend this race whole-heartedly. And the new car-parking field between the start & the pub was much appreciated.

In short: Great course, great organisation/marshalling, great t-shirt, beer & burger
In full: Tricky course, gets harder as it goes along. Would have liked to dip under 50 mins, but this was the first race after a couple of weeks if injury, so pleased with 50:26. Love this race, so enjoyed it immensely, and nice for it to be a cool evening rather than the usual sauna. And it only cost £6.50 for the race, a t-shirt and a beer'n'burger.

In short: That hill is a killer - but the beer made up for it at the end !
In full: Not many people would spend there birthday running, but I did! Enjoyed the run apart from that hill which seems to get longer every year ! Good organisation although the queue for the beer and hotdog at the end was somewhat large, but very rewarding.

Will definately be back to do this next year as it is nice to have a midweek run to participate in for a change.

Well done and many thanks to the organisers and marshalls who made this evening possible and enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing what next years T-Shirt slogan will be!
