In short: A challenging course, with a tough final 400m.
In full: Second time for me completing this race. Different start and initial first 3km, caused a little confusion but thankfully I was at the front of the grid. Course was long due o higher than expeceted numbers so they moved the start back to accommodate hence why the course was 6.42miles.
I find this to be a good final tune up before London Marathon and will be back next year (so long as I am back in London Marathon).

In short: Great day, great location and a challenging course!
In full: Well sign-posted in the surrounding area, ample parking (field-based parking seemed fine to me), yes there could have been more toilets but no real problem. Start location was confused and no one seemed to be telling people but it didn't delay the race. Great hill finish, shame it started after the 10K distance! A little refining needed to make it 5/5

In full: The start was not very organised, the race was good not too muddy, the marshalls very very friendly and helpful, i thought it was expensive as u got no medal just a mug and drink at the end

In short: Expected more mud so pleasantly surprised, could do with grading the start to ease congestion. Oh the last hill, that is a tough way to finish !

In short: First the downs, start a bit crowed and unorganised and the course didn't appear to be measured correctly. Over 6.4 Miles. That a side friendly, well marshalled race. That hill at the end though wont be forgotten quickly.
