In short: Excellent in every way
In full: Good fast course with excellent marshals. Bottle of water, t-shirt and goody bag all made it very good value. Oh yes, I even got a trophy for once, so this one will always have a place in my heart!

Hope the lady whose trainers and phone we found in the car park after has been reunited with her possessions!

In short: Quick, friendly club event with partially closed roads & cheery marshals
In full: Only my 3rd event so still a newbie, I really enjoyed this club event.
Directions to the HQ & start were clear, I only live 9 miles away so cycled there, I didn't notice anyone struggling in traffic or parking. Marshals were friendly and helpful giving good directions when I needed them.
The course was pretty flat with the start finish straight closed to traffic then the remainder pretty quiet, water was provided partway round in bottles with the marshals removing the lids first.
The goodie bag was welcome as top of my forget list for the day was cash so having a banana & a cereal bar before I rode home made quite a difference.
I'll definitely come back next year & if they'll have me hopefully I'll be a member of this club.

In full: Last raced here in 200 and good to see the race has gone from strength to strenth, friendly crowd for the unattached runner, and decent enough facilities, well worth the effort to run.

In short: Excellent Race
In full: Really friendly and well organised also the course is fairly flat. I really enjoyed this race. I like the goody bag at the end and you get T-shirt.
