In short: Well organised apart from running out of water!!
In full: Great scenery, well marshalled and enthusiastic supporters. Frank Bruno starting the race was a great touch and I hope that lots of money was raised for Charity!!! Shame that Waitrose ran out of water and were very rude to those of us finishing after 60 mins "well it was free..." not helpful when you are thirsty.

In short: A well organised event, with a mix of terrain; grass, paths and traffic-free roads. Not a PB course, but the scenery makes up for that. Being sent on our way by guest starter Frank Bruno was a nice touch. I'll be back to do this one again.

In short: Much better than last year
In full: Much better course with no real bottlenecks. The hill at the end was a bit of a killer but an enjoyable race overall. Not sure how accurate the Kilometre posts were (especially 3k).

In short: Fab organisation, great atmosphere, evil final climb but all very enjoyable. Just need to sort chip timing, final sensor past start/finish and this not clear.

In short: Excellent - great to have a local race!
In full: Grove House is such a worthwhile charity, it's great to see a well organised local race supporting local services. The late start was nothing, happens all the time in much bigger, more well established races! Weather was perfect! Definitely need more water next year though!

In short: thoroughly enjoyable race
In full: I really liked this race. It was well marshalled and the there were enough distance markers. Only 2 water stations and unfortunately they ran out of water at the end, but otherwise good. Will be back next year.
