In short: The downhills did for me! Well marshalled, 3 water stations, medal , friendly runners - what more do you need!.
In full: Wow - undulating.... Hills up were mostly long, good gradients with one noticeable exception. The downhills for everyone else seemed good and worth the effort put in on the ups. Good varied field with everything from elite to more social runners included. No snobbery from anyone, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. Okay so it's a tough race (it was my first!) but it's definetly not boring and the marshalls and locals were great at cheering you on.
Only issue was maybe the number of toilets, but to be honest everyone who needed to go, did and then the race started!
Pleased I finished - now looking for a nice flat race to follow up with.

In full: Very well organised great value for money scenic race.
I've completed this many times before and it never disapoints. I was a little anxious beforehand, remebereing the climbs but on the day the course seemed a lot easier than my memory served me.
Lovely weather and nice to get under the hour.

In short: Good challenging run, but for a hard 10 mile run where's the medal!
In full: Good race, tough with the number of hills and therefore not a PB course but worth a try out as part of your training for another race. Well run and friendly, nice touch to have someone hose you down at the end seeing as it was a scorching hot day. My only gripe is that there's no medal. For a hard 10 mile race I think we all deserve one !

In full: This is not a PB course however it is a very good course challenging and scenic with excellent marshalling. My race was blown by the heat but that was my fault.
