In short: I'll be back!
In full: well organised, friendly marshalls, route well signed. I found this hard but had done a 10 mile race the day before. Hot day but a welcome breeze. Water stations just right. What a scenic venue. Well done to Keith and the team.

In short: nice scenery, harder than it should have been!
In full: Well run, marshalls and water folk all friendly. Hot day, but lots of water provided so that helped. Was not expecting the bits on grass, so that slowed me down. Not flat, but think my legs were just not up to it today! Nice run overall.

In full: A nice race, small turn out - maybe 100 runners? Very well organised, mile makers and water stations all perfect. Very good marshaling. Parking 100 yards from the start. No traffic at all. A small part of the route (2 miles?) is on paths round the edges of fields which were rutted and bumpy - so no PB. Nice and friendly atmosphere.
