In short: Great race for a PB and a full goody bag
In full: Well organised with friendly marshals, good support and one of the best commentators at a race I've heard. The worst bit is the narrow start but at least its chip timed so even that isn't too much of an issue.

In short: Great support - great fun!
In full: Nice experience all round. Registration was smooth - start was well organised. The start/finish line was on a very narrow path and I was squeezed to the back at the start. Oh well...
The support was excellent all around the course and the marshals were very encouraging.
Nice medal/Tshirt/goody bag and the results were up before we got home!
Well done - nice run, but 18 quid??? Ouch!

In short: My favourite local race!
In full: Another really enjoyable run, well-organised, with plentiful and encouraging marshalls, great crowd support, loaded goody bag, technical t-shirt and chunky medal! As always, the chap doing the PA gives a witty and funny commentary, before and after the race, he really adds to the overall atmosphere. Thankyou Handy Cross Runners, I always look forward to this run.

In short: Quality event - good atmosphere, well-organised, awesome goody bag!
In full: An excellent event. Entry money well worth it, especially for the t-shirt, medal and goody bag. Very efficiently run event. Flat most of the way round and a decent crowd especially towards the end. Would definately recommend.
