In short: Finely oiled machinery of this 30 year old race worked its annual wonders to produce a super race
In full: Well done to Wolds Vets on organising a great race. Web site and facebook were used to great effect to communicate with runners before and after the race. Number collection easy and well organised off road car parking. Excellent informative pre-race briefing from the club chairman. All key points on the course were marshalled and lots of caution runners signed on the country lanes. Lovely course, yes it is challenging, but also very rewarding. Bottled water at the end, excellent long sleeved tec t shirt, results out in swift time. Presentation was great as lots of runners waited behind to drink their post race pint and hearty BBQ. MANY THANKS TO ALL

In short: Great day, great organisation, lovely environment - I need to train more!
In full: This was a really good day, and I now wish I had brought the family, as it would have been a good day out for us all. The race itself was hard, but satisfying to finish. Definitely one to try to better in subsequent years (this was my first). I think the organisation was excellent, with great marshalls, good parking and a really nice atmosphere throughout. (Lincoln 10k take note - this is how to do it:)
I recommend the race to anyone, though do not expect a pb!
Thanks Wolds Vets.
