In full: Thanks to the marshalls and organisers for the race today. It's a good course if you like hills as there are a good variety. But if you pace yourself you can still get a decent time. Well organised and plenty of encouragement for the runners.

In full: Lovely, well organised race with friendly marshals and a great atmosphere.
I took the advice of an experienced runner and "saved my energy" (walked) up the really steep hills, but it certainly paid off.
Thank you Marlow Striders - I had a great time!
