In short: I liked having the chip timing, as it seemed to take ages to get going at the start and cross the start line! Good race shame you can't tame the weather ;-) marshalls did an excellent job in hellish conditions - good work. Thanks.

In short: Good race laughs off dreadful weather
In full: The weather seemed to bring out the best in people. The marshalling was superb. In Patrixbourne, there was a choice between running through a ford, or using a footbridge. Everyone fording the stream got a cheer from the spectators!

In short: Excellent race
In full: Most well organised race i've been in so far. Marshalls everywhere who were remarkably cheery given the weather. Very nice scenic route although a bit narrow just after the start so make sure you are near the front to avoid getting held up. The hills are NOT as bad as some say and the downhill finish is very fast. Great fun, even in the rain.

In short: Wet, Windy, Wonderful Marshall's
In full: This was a tough race for me only my second race and with the added fear of the weather was not looking forward to my sunday. But once I got into it I loved it, the marshalls were amazing so encouraging and they must have been frozen, so a big thank you to them all.
T-Shirt a bit disappointing.

Congrats to the marshals who stook it out guiding the runner through, their efforts were much appreciated!

In short: Wet, windy and challenging!
In full: It was well organised and the marshalls did a good job, in poor conditions. I found it hard going but would like to have another go with the sun on my back, rather than the wind and rain in my face!
