In short: Oh the pain!
In full: What a great race, and I got a PB! I was wondering why it was such hard work. . . I'm feeling those downhills tho. The hills were evil but scenery and organisation were fantastic. The marshalls were brilliant and I really appreciated the wine gum!

In short: Spectacular in every way
In full: The weather helped, because it was a glorious crisp, clear day, and that made the most of the spectaclar coutryside.
A wonderful course, with enough to challenge most, and very well organised. Well done Marlow!

In short: Beautiful route but some tough hills
In full: Fabulous weather, great organisation and some beautiful scenery more than made up for the pain of the hill at mile 8.
Not really a pb potential for your average road runner, but well worth doing!

In short: Excellent course with fantastic weather made this a race to remember
In full: The hills were steep but far from impossible. It made the course interesting. I found the downhill sections much more of a challenge then the two steep uphills. I didn't know pound down them and make up time or take it slowly and save my legs.
Well marshalled and traffic was never a problem.
