In short: Well organised friendly run as usual
In full: A great day despite the terrible weather. Thankyou to all the marshalls who braved the weather for us to enjoy a good run again this year.That uphill slog towards the end doesn't get any easier, mind you I'm getting older too..will be back again next year no doubt..

In short: Very enjoyable despite terrible weather.
In full: It was absolutly tipping it down but there was still a good turn out and plenty of marshalls willing to stand in the rain waiting for us all! It was worth doing even in the rain.

In short: Well organised friendly race. Thank you to the marshalls turning out in the rain. Probably would have been more spectators if the sun had shone. Traffic a problem in some areas. Runners should have gone on pavement more when available.

In short: Cheap on the cost but not the quality
In full: I actually ran the 5k, but from what I could see was excellent marsahalling. You could easily hear the start gun, not too overcrowded. It was my 1st competitive race and I can't wait to have a go again next year.
Loved it!

In short: This is a benchmark race, good fun, great course!
In full: Beutiful weather, great organsiation, even the parking was like clockwork, no one has mentioned the endless bananas, apples, red bull & water at the end - the cricket pitch curcuit was great, even the course itself is nice and balanced, no big hauls to worry about.
