In short: Hilly but enjoyable
In full: Course was hillier than I expected but very scenic. The sun came out after 10 minutes which was a boost. The big downhill at 9k makes for a fast finish! Starting area and first 500m uphill quite congested but not a huge problem. The organisation was excellent. Marshals friendly, helpful and encouraging all the way round. Particularly valued the marshalls posted throughout Goring to direct you to car parking, which was necessarily some distance from the race start.

In short: Lovely course, lovely weather, friendly and well-organised. What more could you want?
In full: Thoroughly enjoyable run on a glorious day. The downhill ending was lovely after a pretty hilly course. The start was a bit hemmed in after a longish walk from the car park, but that would be my only little gripe. Everything else was just right and I will certainly be back again next year.
