In short: Well organised and great scenery!
In full: My first time doing this race and a definite one to do again! The parking was impressively dealt with, and in a friendly manner! A bit bunched up at the end, but not the organiser's fault, just a few non-considerate souls! Very scenic, with some mildly challenging hills. Definite PB potential if not for still having a bit of London still in my legs from 2 weeks ago! A big well done to those involved in organising the day! Maybe think about some isotonic drinks or energy gels in future? Great t-shirt (not the boring white ones that we usually end up with!)

In short: Cracking event, superbly organised
In full: From the carpark marshalling to the finish line it ran like clockwork. Thanks to all involved, especially the "Jelly Baby Man" at the 10 mile watering hole.

In short: Small Event, Huge Respect
In full: A big thank you must go out to ALL the people that make this event possible. Immaculate from start to finish. A little pedestrian at the start, but a well balanced, rolling course thereafter. Great start/finish venue and facilities. V.smart t-shirt too!! A really enjoyable day out.

In short: Good organisation, good course....shame about some idiots running in the race
In full: Excellent marshalling everywhere from the car park to the finish. A good temperature for running, plenty of water stations, good t-shirt. It is a shame that some people can't predict (within an hour) what time they are going to finish in and then run 5 abreast along the narrow start (I think it was advertised well enough to runners to line up near the board which stated your predicted finish time). All possibilities of a good time blown in the first 4 miles as it was 'crawl pace' with no passing places (not the fault of the race at all just some of the runners). When we started to spread out I seemed to be cursed by idiots sprinting past and then cutting straight in front of me and then stopping. What is that all about? It happened on at least 5 occasions! I was running alongside club runners so I'd expect a bit of runners etiquette. A potentially great race wrecked by a few ignorant runners.

In short: Excellent race definately PB potential
In full: Enjoyed the race, and having knocked 9 minutes off my PB i am very pleased. Would definately do it again. Good organisation and the weather helped. Bit of a stinker between miole 10 and 11 but a good dowhill strech afterwards to the finish

In short: An event for all abilities
In full: Great race, good HQ - family friendly. No problems in getting going and well stocked water stations. All the basics were done right and it had something for everyone. Nice touch to have banana and Mars bar when you finished.
Choice of T-shirt with every pre-entered runner's name on it - way better than the cheap one size fits all rubbish we got at FLM. Big fat WELL DONE to the organisers
