In short: Great atmosphere
In full: Great race, brilliant atmosphere with loads of friendly locals willing you up the hills. Definitely a town race, didn't see any rural!Plenty of impromptu water/sweets and hose pipes proffered en route by the kindly spectators and proper water bottles at the official water stations.
Great finish and thanks to the Milton Road hill only just managed a medal!

In short: hilly-hellish-heaven!
In full: 2nd year doing this run - I made a silly mistake of running this with a hangover!! The challenge needs to be respected on this course as them hills are killer!
Great atmosphere - only complaint is the lack of water and sports-drink @ the start!! Lucosade had a stand here last year and I missed it not being there on race day again!

In short: Still the best support of any race I've seen
In full: Probably the most enjoyable Potters Arf of the 4 I've now done, parking seemed much easier this year, the weather was perfect for running, the crowds were brilliant as always and I managed a better time than I was expecting :)
Anyone who's not done Potters, get yourself on it for 2011 you'll love it.
