In short: Now even better!
In full: Much better this year with the new start and finish points, and the run along the "prom" was a big plus. Motivational drummers was also a nice idea. The flooded section on the hovercraft base added something else!
Well done Gosport RR for learning from last year, and thanks to all the marshals & supporters. Managed a pb too.

In short: Definite PB potential but running around an airfield is dull and organisation could be better.

In short: great fun despite the huge flood at one point, well organised (start was a bit sudden tho!) and good fun all round.

In short: Well worth the trip from Kent...!!!
In full: Can't really fault the event..! Thanks to all those involved... The contents of the goody bag were well appreciated given the closure of the M25 on the way home and the detour taken..!!!

In short: Well organised race
In full: Good organisation & the baggage people were really efficient. I agree with other reviews that chip timing would be a great idea for this race.

In short: Nice flat course and well organised
In full: This event has a really good setup, from the warm classrooms of the school to prepare in, to a fast, flat course, with a good run along the sea-front and well organised by friendly marshalls. I particularly appreciated the cake in the goody bag. I struggle to fault the event!

In short: very good pb potential
In full: a nice flat course which didnt seem to have any of the problems I read about in last years reviews, very enjoyable and I would defo do it again, two little grumbles from me; I would rather have less in the goody bag and have chip timing instead, my second little moan is that not every road that led onto the course was marshalled.
All in all a positive experience.
