In full: Moved the start line as to accomodate for all the gorillas and elvis style runners that wouldnt move back from the start line, terrible organisation.

In short: Very good race.
In full: Only thing that let it down was the start. Any start where you get people to walk to the start and then turn round and go back the same way never works (Ask those that organised the Newark Half Marathon nit was chaos).
Special mention to the two ladies trying to give the drinks at the finish. More help needed, they work working as fast as they could.

In short: Well Done Cirencester AC - Good Race.
In full: Nice course, generally better than last year, only one point - the start - agree with other posts that this could be better.
Could you start it with one lap of the grass field, to allow a wider start area? Otherwise, great race.

In short: An improved route, sunshine what more could you ask for?
In full: I think the start needs to be organised better, I liked the new route though as only meant having to go up the steep bit once!

In short: Great race in the Sept sunshine
In full: Overall this is a nice run on traffic-free roads in Cirencester Park. Generally flat with only one hill of any significance at around 5k. Its great that the new course is only one lap as I hate multi-lap events. Knocked 2 mins off my pb so must be a good run :)
