In short: Well worth the trip for the PB potential alone
In full: Well done Gosport Road Runners - a lot of organisation went into this and it showed. Good to see the police there on some of the awkward junctions too. Pleasant enough course, well marshalled and very friendly atmosphere - helped today by clement weather. It was a 220 mile round trip for me, but well worth it for a 1.37 PB. And just £9 - I'll be back.

In short: Very enthusiastic and supportive marshalls.
In full: A flat course, which was only really anything to look at by the seafront. The marshalls were great, which was very welcome as there isn't much crowd support. Very long baggage queue before the race but otherwise good organisation.

In short: Friendly marshallers, great weather. Good PB potential.
In full: Friendly, supportive marshallers and great weather combined for a great plodders run. Good course but a little too much winding residential mileage. Other than that part, quite nice scenery and a good chance for a PB.

In short: Fantastic Race, really enjoyed this one.
In full: No PB for me (by a minute) but not to disheartened after carrying an injury for the last few weeks and not training much. A really good race with friendly marshalls and a good venue.Showers were cold though.
Only thing was a big que for bags at the end, answer run a bit faster and youll get there before the rest. Fantastic.

In short: flat and fast, and perfect weather booked - well done!
In full: Great organisation, and very friendly marshals - some very pretty stretches along the water, with just a few too many twists and turns through residential areas.
Still fast though - a new PB, so can't complain!
