In full: One of these years we'll get a cool day, and then this race has real PB potential, as mainly flat (with a few inclines). this was the third time i've ran it, and again very well organised. (loved the chocolate milkshake in the goody bag too!!)

In full: Ran it with my daughter, Hollie, and we both enjoyed it.
Hot and sunny but a fine flat, quick course.
Well organised, very friendly, easy to get to - and well signed...
I've lost count of the times I've got lost en route to a race...
Not this time!!
Well done guys, a top, top effort..

In short: Great race for all. Fortunately no 'hilly' hills!!! Need a louder start siren as we couldn't hear - too busy chatting at the back and more information about where to pick up the t-shirts would have been helpful as some of us almost went home without

In full: This race was really well organised with a friendly atmosphere.
The first couple of miles are nice and flat giving a fast start, but be careful as it gets a little harder, especially on a hot day. Definitely potential for a PB too.
Highly recommended!

In short: A very well organised race
In full: My first 5 miler - good route through the country lanes. nice and flat (tiny little rise at 3m) and a great finish mile.
I line the fact that they closed off the road at the start/finish. Also the signs to find the race were brill if you dont know the area.

In short: Great race, well worth entering.
In full: Have done this race for the past three years and have always enjoyed it. A nice flat course that is great for the PB seeker although I am a bit old for it myself, great organisation, they even have a test run on the course a week before the event and a bbq afterwards. This year the weather was just right for running, it has fell on the really wamest summer days in the past and nothing wrong with that. The best race I have entered for years! Oh and a reasonable goody bag.
