In short: Good , well organised race on a nice flat course.
In full: This was a very well ornagised club event. Even thou I arrived late, it was sign posted for car park, and then to the start area. Large area for all to warm up and watch. Lots of club runners, but I didn't feel too out of pace.
Copurse was flat, well marshalled and a good overall course I feel for all level of runners.

In short: Lovely Course, Well Organised, What More Do You Want!
In full: Course through quiet, narrow country-lanes, made all the more picturesque by evening sunshine.
Slightly downhill first 1.75M, then slowly back up, made this a very quick course as far as I'm concerned (I took 70secs off my PB!).
Organisation was faultless.
Can't think of any reason why I won't be doing this ever year from now on...
THOROUGHLY RECOMMENDED.

In full: The marshalls near the finish just stood around so I wasn't sure where I was going, lost a few seconds of time.

In short: Beware the humps!
In full: Race is well organised. Starts (and finishes) on a narrow driveway adjacent to a sports field which means you need to make sure you're somewhere near the front. You also need to watch out for the sleeping policemen on the drive which can play hell with your stride length.

In short: Excellent value (3 for 5M), small 'clubbie' race. Not a big city mass event (thank God!), but a good solid club event. A few inclines, but fast on country lanes.
