In short: Super day. Little running club put on a lovely event. Afterwards was amazing - lot of food and drink. Esp. good for girls as we had to chase this tasty hunk on a bike at the front - no wonder I Pd'ed ;-*
In full: I'll pre-enter next year.

In short: I am the runner with the pram: This is the only way I can compete, as both parents are runners. I always start at the back, and give way when required. All the way around I received encouragement & support. I have nothing to prove, do you?

In short: As a member of the race organisation I can only say that I hoped everyone enjoyed the race despite the few hitches due solely to the large number of people entering on the day,we had double last years entry!!As for cars we can't close roads

In short: Cracking turn-out for quite a small race
In full: This is my local race so my views are some what biased, but for a fairly low-key event the organisation is spot on, the course is scenic/quick, the atmosphere is cheery, the cakes on sale after were scrumptious, the waterbottle prize was nice and I reckon the other 349 people (record turnout) in the race had fun too!

In short: Great course for a PB!
In full: Lovely flat race, two minor hills over M5. Shame about lack of toilets, there are enough things to worry about at the start of a race!

In short: PB opportunity
In full: Pleasant scenary,fast course for a PB.Well marshalled on the course but no finding the start.Delayed start and standing at the back of the field did not hear the start of the race.Nice touch with the coffee and cakes at the beginning.No water at the end as mentioned.Yes they did have a large field but had enough time after the start to orgainise extra water.Water bottle will come in handy.Thanks

In short: Excellent day for a fast run through nice countryside.
In full: The organisers seemed to cope fairly well with what must have been an unexpectedly large turnout(It was a beautiful day for a run). The start was full, but very quickly thinned to give a good fast run in nice countryside, the only hills being the 2 roads crossing the M5. Overall it was an immensely enjoyable morning, one of those that makes you want to go out and race again in the afternoon ! (a cycle ride with the kids had to suffice). One for next years diary.

In short: Shames about the queues to register and for the toilets. Also very congested start.

In short: Lovely course, dodgy organsiation.
In full: There couldnt have been a better way to spend a Sunday morning. Lovely fast course and nice scenery. Slightly disorganised start with cars still trying to get up the road we were about to run down, start delayed by about 12 minutes. Overall though a very pleasent experience.
