In short: Friendly, flat lat two-lap course, in blistering heat
In full: First time run of my local event and very rewarding.
The blistering heat and the 10.30am start made for a slower than hoped-for time, and some red shoulders!
A couple of the straights seem to go on and no, but the flat course and much-need water stop made for a nice urban and country run!
Excellent crowd support at the finish, and brilliant value with both a medal and a t-shirt. I'll definitely be back next year!

In short: A nice flat course by a road and through some more countryside areass
In full: Worth doing if live within an hour. Not worth travelling miles for.

In short: Decent small event worth doing
In full: Very good value event, with a T-shirt, banana & water waiting as a reward at the end. Why do other event fail to meet that standard for much higher entry fees?
Some of the marshals were doing an excellent job of marshaling (keeping runners safe & showing encouragement), a couple of them on important junctions were maybe busy thinking about something else?
Good crowd support at the start/middle/end point.

In short: Fast course, well organised
In full: Any race where the mayor hands out the T-shirts and medals can't be bad. Even with a strongish breeze this was a pb potential course.
One slight gripe would be that there weren't enough marshalls, and those that were present could have been deployed on busier junctions.
