In full: Parking was a bit crazy on arrival but it's not a massive place so shouldn't grumble. Good course, a bit hilly here and there, cold and windy but the stewards were really encouraging. Got a PB time as well. Thanks Norwich Road Runners.

In short: Marshalls won the day !
In full: I've only run a handfull of races but NRR's Marshalls' have been the most incredibly encouraging that I've so far come accross. A fab' event (who could predict that weather when we had a lovely mild day yesterday?)
that wind and rain could'nt spoil. Thank you to all concerned.

In short: Very pleasantly rural course - plently of up and down despite being Norfolk. Excellently marshalled. Shame about the wind and cold.

In short: Great country lanes race, can't help the weather but all praise to the hardy and encouraging marshals
In full: A bit wet and windy this year, but the course is surprisingly sheltered and there was no endless slogging into the wind. Marshals were very frequent along the attractive and low-traffic course, and were unfailingly encouraging. The only downside was the 6mile water station running out of water. Not a big problem today but a quick swig would still have been welcome. The snack bar in the village hall had possibly the biggest selection of home made cakes I have ever seen, at bargain prices.
