In short: Very well organised nice location with good facilities and friendly marshals
In full: Yes that hill is deceptive just when you think you have reached the top there are more inclines just arround the corner before the finish! Think I have chopped a few seconds off last years time under 40mins so well pleased!Shame about the section before the hill which seemed to have loads of traffic, why couldnt the horse box owners and sports car enthusiasts wait to let us go by before they crused up and down that section got several nice lung fulls of carbon monoxide just at that critical time. Hey ho! nice race hope to be back next year

In short: Where were the flat bits then?
In full: I was expecting the hill after the 4 mile mark but wow!! most of the course was on a gradient of some sort (except for the flat school field at the end!)....the most challenging 5 mile race I've ever done!Smooth organisation, great facilities and the marshalls and first aiders were everywhere, thank you! May be back for more? but will have to do loads of hill-work first!

In short: My local. Four miles down and one steep one back up which gets you every year.
In full: Think the organisation is pretty good here, although I live only half a mile from the start, so tend to just turn up, warm up, run and go home. Friendly bunch that run it and a good atmosphere. Course is ok apart from the hill at the end. I run this loop a lot, but normally the other way round as I prefer a long steady climb to the hellish steep one that starts the fifth mile in this race.

In short: Easy for 4 miles, then a steep climb for the last mile. But it's usually held the week after London, so it's a breeze and a good fun morning run.
