In short: Top notch organisation
In full: Many thanks to the organisers; I can't really think of any improvements they could make. My first Liversedge HM and though it's a challenging course, it's quite enjoyable. There's a long gradual straight uphill between miles 8 and 10 on quite a busy road that seems to go on forever, but otherwise the course is varied enough to keep you interested. There are occasional stunning views, but bits of housing estate and industry as well. No rain, snow or wind so good conditions, and though I didn't get a PB, I got a good time for the terrain. I'll probably be back next year.

In short: Hilly.
In full: There seems to have been lots of pb's around today....i got one as well!!! Just over 2 mins off my previous. Very very happy.
The course itself is not particularly picturesque, but the friendly marshalls and great organisation more than made up for that. The hills were not too severe, certainly not as bad as i was expecting.
I'll definitely do it again.

In full: Really enjoyed running this today, was very well organised with lots of supportive marshalls (and local police support too which is always nice)! Managed a great PB so needless to say I'm pleased. Would definately run this again.

In full: very well organised and great support from the marshalls. the hills were tough, but the weather was good and not very windy either. the roads were not closed, but the traffic was generally OK. oh and the hills were tough, did i mention that?
Nice finish on the village green and i called in at the community centre for a coffee and well earned slice of lemon cake!
