In short: Dont come for the scenery, come for the quick course !
In full: Same as last year, the scenery is unspectacular but the course is quick. There was a headwind for the last mile but still a great course.

In short: Fast course with bad surface on some paths, had to watch feet!
In full: Good event, would have been better in morning, 1:30 kills whole day. Good marshalls and eveyone knows its flat so you push hard, makes the last 400 yards tough. Well organised, good field. Thanks

In short: My first crack at the victory 5M. The only faults were a very bunched start which gave me a slow 1st mile and the terrain around IBM was shocking. Apart from that very enjoyable and got a respectable time.

A beautiful day for running on a fast flat course with a real feeling of a big event
I loved the start and finish on the race track.
Plenty of parking
Massage afterwards as a treat for my PB!

In short: Fast and errr.....yeah
In full: A flat, fast course with PB written all over it. Apart from that, pretty ordinary- drinks were nowhere near the finish line, the 1.30 start time is a pain and the prizegiving had just about the grumpiest announcer I've ever seen.
