In full: Tough, but good fun too. Such a friendly atmosphere too, the patriotic sing along at the start, and the fry up at the end.
I'll be back next year!

In full: The really telling thing about this race is that although it's not a fast race, the mile markers seem to keep on popping up quicker than you expect them - because you're enjoying it so much.

In short: The only event that can make a tough run fun!
In full: As ever, Dr Rob and his team provided a well organised event with a great atmosphere. A lovely but challenging course - I forgot how nasty that last hill and steps were! The sing-song at the start, great support from marshalls and spectators and the warm welcome back at the finish made for another worthwhile but tough run. See you in 2010!

In short: Flawless organisation, beautiful scenry, enough hills and glorious weather!
In full: Excellent race. Very good atmosphere, friendly, not too elitist and a good mix of ability. The marshalls were very supportive and drink / food stations well stocked. A good number of supporters made the trek to the top of Leith Hill and back down again for the finish. The course is challenging and a relief to turn round at the top. The killer hill at the end is cheeky though. Very good take aways - t-shirt, medal and paperweight. Cost could be lowered by cutting down on these. Enjoyed watching the wife carry and will definitiely be back later in the year and again for this one in 2010. Thank you to the whole Trionium Team.
