In short: Great evening, well organised, very friendly.
In full: Once again a really good evening. Superb organisation, plenty of marshalls, all very friendly. Surface mainly cinder, not a surface I like but at least its flat. Def pb potential. Minor comment, medals are great quality, but same as last year, suggest having year engraved on back. (I know I can do it, but if this is the only thing I can find wrong, then shows you how good the whole thing is!!!)Excellent social BBQ afterwrds make a very pleasent evening. Well done A&FF.

In short: A great 5K, highly recommended for beginners.
In full: This was my 1st 5K, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, marshalls were encouraging, organisation was very good. I will definitely be back again next year. Thank you Ampthill and Flitwick Flyers.

In short: One of my favourite 5ks
In full: Excellent PB potential but more importantly (to my mind) - a friendly race with wonderfully encouraging marshalls. I love this 5k - found it to be just as enjoyable as last year. See you next year!
