In short: Well organised, good value for money but shame about the route
In full: Lots of marshalls, good race facilities and good balanced field. Shame it's not on a better route, as there's a bit too much traffic on the Nursteed Road and the final loop was a bit demoralising. Devizes has so many good places to run so it seems a shame this race misses them.
Could we get Wadworth's to sponsor - a horse brass would make a fab souvenir!

In short: Very well organised and marshalled, nice course
In full: 2nd time I've run it. Car-parking and race mashalling is excellent. As much of the race is along a busy road, the race marshalling is particularly important. Devizes do an excellent job here.
Good spectator points, as the route loops back on itself a couple of times.
The results were posted up on the web by 3.00pm; very quick. Well done Devizes.
