In short: Undulating and scenic - lovely!
In full: A rural and undulating course with PB potential. The hills are never steep enough so you really notice them, and there're some lovely stretches of downhill and flat to reap back some seconds! Loads of drinks stations - even threw in a Lucozade sports pouch at the 5.5 mile mark. Keep your eye out for the DJ at the start - certainly 'different' for 9:30 on a Sunday morning.......

In short: Brilliant course + great organisation
In full: Great organisation from pre-race pack through to rapid results posting on the net. Fantastic course, particularly in todays favourable conditions. A little pricey but I guess the money was well spent. Also, I thought the support along the route from both marshalls and locals was excellent.

In short: Very well organised, good course.
In full: My third Ackworth. Perfect weather, very good organisation - better road closures now too (last did it in 2004). According to the race clock I ran bang on the same time as I did in 2001!! 1:23:45. Only 22 seconds off my half PB which is from Brass Monkey - it gets the plaudits becuse its that bit faster - Ackworth's hill at 3 miles has to be worth 30 seconds?
