In short: Great course, challenging hills (especially second time round) extremely well organised event
In full: Once again, perfectly organised race from Yaxley Runners. Love the course, a little exposed at the rop of the course with the cross wind, overall a really good challenge. Nice bacon butties also, apparantly.

In short: very well organised
In full: Plenty of marshalls, would have appreciated a shower afterwards, but can't have everything. The parking being so far from the start/finish area was a problem, despite the free transport as I left my after race kit in the car, not realising how far away it was. Never mind. Gave me a chance to wear my new t-shirt. Despite the hills, I enjoyed this race. Never run this distance before so a new challenge. Good bacon buns afterwards and prize presentation reasonably quickly after event. A good marathon build up race. Well done to all organisers and marshalls.

In short: I hate this race - but I keep coming back year after year because the organisation is fantastic. Keep up the good work Yaxley.
In full: Really good "lets see how unfit I am after Christmas race" and as usual I never fail to score highly in that department! If I could just manage a decent run here this would be one of my favourite races. All the marshalls were fantastic, the support is good for a rural event and the bacon cobs were very welcome.

In short: A tough 2 lap challenge with some big hills thrown in. Worth the trip though and the long sleeve tee was very nice!

In short: A toughie, but a goodie...
In full: A challenging course considering it is in Cambs! A few good flat bits to get your speed up (especially with the wind at your back), but the hills were tough.
