In short: Hills not quite as bad as we were expecting!
In full: Rolling hills through miles 2 to 4 or so, but the last part relatively flat. Part of a summer fete so plenty to do for everyone before and after and plenty of "recovery" treats available! Marshalls excellent, very smoothly organised and encouraging. Throw in a Spitfire flypast too and a very pleasant afternoon indeed!

In short: Rollercoaster Hills
In full: Not that hot this year thankfully. Hills are still a killer and tried to go as fast as possible down the other sides. Encouragement on way round from marshalls and public was great. One downer was water at the finish from a garden hose! and I now have a dodgy tummy :o(
but I will do again :o)

In short: Better than I remembered it
In full: A classic event. Marvellously linked to local village fete and flower show so something for all the family. Great organisation and marshalls with runners of all abilities willing to pass on advice to all. Although course the same this year as last sure that a couple more hills have grown but still took 3 minutes off last years pb. Defo back in 2009.

In short: Great little race
In full: I was pleasantly surprised by this race. A friend said I should come along and give it a go and dispite it being an unusual distance, it was great. Other than the small gate right at the beginning which caused a minor hold up (why not start the race in the field), it was really well organised with great marshalls and a groovy polo style medal.
