In short: A great 20 miler for Marathon training and even if you just fancy running 20 miles!
In full: My 2nd year taking part in this race and some good improvements on last year, notibly the slight change in course and parking next to the start. I really enjoyed this race last year and did so again today, I will hopefully be back next year. Great marshalls and so supportive, an interesting but challenging course (I'm sure those hills are made steeper the 2nd time around!) and great comaraderie between the runners. Plus I got a PB by well over 4 minutes, see you next year and hopefully I'll run it 24 seconds and break that 3 hour barrier! And finally I got to see some of those famous landmarks from Top Gear including Hammond's boat!

In short: Well organized enjoyable race
In full: Nice course with a few ups and downs and the rather surreal airfield bit. Plenty of water stations, well stocked with gels. Could have done with a few more loos but what race doesn't. friendly marshalls and a nice shiny medal

In full: I really enjoyed myself today, it was a challenging but do-able undulating course with very supportive and encouraging marshalls . The guys at the water stations did a great job too. A good sunday morning pre-marathon training run.Thanks.

In short: well organised 20 miler
In full: Well done Alan and Nicky for a smooth, well organised event. All marshals deserve praise for their support especially those on the final turn who cheered my wife ( running towards the bak of the race )all the way up the road. Plenty of water and gels in just the right places. Results out by the time I had driven home.

In short: Good training event for a sprint marathon
In full: A big improvement on last year. Moving the start near the cars was great with the added bonus of getting the horrible airfield circuit out of the way at the beginning and at half way. Well done for listening to the runners and making changes. Still a fantastic medal like last year. So shiny.
