In short: Ran like clockwork, nice course and well organised.
In full: probably the most smoothly run event i've attended this year and i've ran in over 20 races. Beat my pb by 8 minutes, I thought the course was undulating, there were a couple of steep hills but nothing too drastic. The crowd support was really good especially as it was tipping down for the whole race. The t-shirt is good as it's a technical t-shirt but it's just plain and has no mention of the event on it which is a bit of a shame. The medal is superb, probably the best one yet. There's even a bit on the back where you can engrave your time which I thought was a nice touch. The goody bag was average at best. A good local event which I would do again.

In short: Great race! The weather wasnt too good but the fluid organisation and top support made the event well worthwhile! Brilliant for water stations and goodies at the end. TOP event!
