In short: WET,WET,WET!!!
In full: If only for the rain and the wind.
Soaking wet and very little chance of running a fast time.
Course is challenging. First 2k is uphill which can play on the legs.
Nice course, well organised, well marshalled and well supported too. A long time since getting a mug for finishing. Look forward to next year, hopefully the weather will be better.

In short: A few hills that can catch you out if you are going for a PB and have never run it before!

In short: Enjoyable except for the cars
In full: Enjoyed the run and actually did a PB despite the hills. Got annoyed with the cars and found myself breathing in petrol fumes at times but second half of course really nice

In short: Fairly challenging but well organised and friendly
In full: Very friendly marshalls, first 1km is all uphill but after that pretty undulating. Token flood mid-course was a nice touch :-) Well organised, fairly challenging race. Will be back next year.
