In short: such great friendly organisation
In full: The hills were a challenge. But the atmosphere made up for it. Very well organised parking, bags store, loos, changing, catering, etc. Lovely marshalls, lots of support on the course, excellent goody bag. Thanks Marlow Striders!!

In short: A tough race but well made up for by the wonderful organisation and atmosphere
In full: Some very severe hills right from the start but lovely wooded scenery made it feel easier. Organisation was fantastic, easy parking and marshalls everywhere directing runners to available parking and clear instructions at the start. No major q's at baggage area or toilets either.Plenty of marshalls along the way, each of them with a message of encouragement! Nice goody bag with a range of t-shirt sizes which makes a pleasent change. Can't find a bad word to say. Not a PB course but one for the calender

In short: Loved the downhill finish!
In full: Brilliant race - well organised, friendly, beautiful course, nice t-shirt and goody bag, liked the rocket start.

Only one downside really - the hills!
