In short: Fast 5 Miler without the Fear of being Blown Out To Sea
In full: Excellect fast course that now that wind has been turned off! nearly yielded a PB good marshalling and plenty of room to run, well organised with easy access. The price is good but the momento is a little cheap. Overall a really good race that leaves you smiling.

In short: Well organised club race on a fast course.
In full: Glorious weather for the earlier race this year. No frills but a good fast course, though very beginner friendly, as two of my club mates will agree ( Natasha & Sarah). To cap a wonderful day for IOWRR's mine was just one of a hatfull of pb's.

In short: good race, shame about the start time
In full: really good race, well marshaled and nice support from onlookers. The only downside is the lunchtime start. Would be back again if it was a morning kick-off as otherwise it consumes your whole Sunday....

In short:
In full: Supportive marshalls and spectators, with each mile being marked out clearly on the course. Finishing on the athletics track provided the oomph to give it all you could to cross the Finishing line. My only complaint was I didn't see where the drinks were when I finished.
