In full: Great marshalling...only gripe was the timing..my result on the website is 20 secs slower than my watch time, think that may have something to do with start and sending us over the timing mat before the gun went off guys?!

In short: Very nice
In full: Nice, fairly even course - basically just 3 circuits of a central bit of the park with no big hills.
I didn't get a medal??!!! The blurb on this site says there's a medal - I was upset about that!
The bag drop area is limited - we had motorbike helmets and jackets and these just wouldn't have fitted into a locker - luckily one of the water station guys let us leave our stuff under his table.
Still upset about there being no medal!!!!

In short: Well organised, well marshalled race - highly recommended
In full: Strangely enjoyable despite the wind and the rain. Might even have been scenic, but I couldn't see much after my glasses got wet and steamed up!
Many thanks to the marshalls - not an ideal day for standing around, but all were cheerful and encouraging.

In short: Great marshalls, friendly organisers
In full: Please can people be banned from wearing headphones at these events. Headphone wearers are so blissfully unaware of those around them and are ruder versions of their non-headphone wearing selves. We expect a bit of jostling with the number of people and narrow paths but headphone wearers are worse than most and the least apologetic.

In short: Friendly, well-organised race with PB potential.
In full: Race pack arrived in time despite Royal Mail issues; quick email response from race organiser allayed fears & proposed sensible solution to lack of pack.
Small, friendly race with great PB potential, although the gentle inclines are the ones that get you.
Start delayed slightly, but all were in good spirits & the race completed without a hitch, including use of new 'chip' technology.
Number of runners kept sensible(350) which prevented issues during narrower elements of the route.
Good support from marshalls.
Hub staff were unwilling to let runners make use of lockers; & although bag storage was offered, perhaps a tag system could be operated to provide additional reassurance.
Can't do the full series but tempted to do those that i can attend.
