In short: Beautiful countryside and good organisation make this a great race!
In full: Pre race organisation good and there didnt appear to be a queue for the toilets!!
Im surprised this race doesnt have more entrants. Its reasonably priced, well organised ( no toilet or car park queues) well marsalled and has well manned drinks stations. On top of that its set in glorious, mostly traffic free , countryside. The crowning glory this year was the weather, very pleasant sunshine! If I had to have a niggle I prefer T-shirts to medals, though the medal was good quality. Finally big thanks to the marshalls, special mention to the lady marshalls before the water station at mile 6, you were especially great!

In short: Lovely route through Broadland countryside
In full: Well organised,lots of marshalls & with the glorious weather lots of locals out in their gardens cheering you on. 1st time i'd done this race, surprised at how undulating it was,not one of my better runs,those uphill bits creased me up. All in all though a thoroughly enjoyable race. Well done Norwich Road Runners.

In short: Can't complain about the 'undulations' they were there last year!
In full: A fantastic event, very well marshalled. Car park well managed. The course was very scenic with more ups and downs than you'd think. Many locals cheering you on. My first race without using Champion Chip, and to be fair with only 300 runners doesn't really need it. Managed a PB too.
