In short: Glad I did the race but it is not quite as good as it used to be.
In full: One of my regular races but the change of Race HQ, and a somewhat chaotic start (mainly due to utterly impatient motorists) meant that to me the overall enjoyment of the race as a whole has slipped a tad. Nevertheless, I appreciate the huge difficulties there are in hosting an event so I am grateful that there is a race at all - long may it continue. Apart from the begining and end the course is quite scenic and the marshals cheery and encouraging. A few tweaks here and there could bring it back to the high standard it once was but hats off to Royston Runners for another generally good event. Nice momento, too.

In short: A good race to end the year with.
In full: An undulating course through generally scenic lanes (except boring loops through housing estate at the start). Organisation is good. Toilets weren't ideal. Nice memento. Good times are possible (if you aren't suffering with illness like I was along with many others). Will be hoping to be in better shape for another try next year.

In short: Interesting course!
In full: Started off a bit un-promising having to run around housing estates and some very narrow footpaths but once out on the open road, it proved to be a good run with some challenging inclines to-boot!
The iffy route through the housing estates (albeit they were very nice and not as dodgy as where I live!!)is more than compensated by the excellent organisation and good facilities at the start and finish.
The momento was nice too!
