In short: good, challenging race
In full: I enjoyed today, hardly a pb course as i felt like i was constantly running up hill, it was well organised and i didnt see any problem. If you live quite close its well worth doing. I had a 300 mile round trip so next year is a maybe. Overall a good day out

In short: Undulating but not too hard going - well organised
In full: Thanks to the blokes at 5 and 10 miles shouting out the times from a stop watch. I didn't have enough breath to say than you but it was appreciated.

In short: Lovely race
In full: Spoilt only by the weather, this was a great race. Playfully undulating and with friendly marshalls braving the rain, ever ready to cheer some words of encouragement.
Well organised and well worth the pain!

In short: Home made cookies and brilliant T shirt - thanks!
In full: Great value, friendly race - technical T, bottles of water, encouraging marshalls, lovely biscuits at the end! Shame about the weather but it is Britain/November! The hills aren't bad (if you're used to Derbyshire) and the first half is very rural/scenic, which takes your mind off them. Will try and get some training in next year after the clocks go back, so my time won't be quite as embarrassing!

In short: Great scenery, undulating with a couple of steepish hills but got a PB so not that bad. Bottled water a welcome touch and a proper breathable t shirt at finish, well done Clowne runners. See you next year.
