In short: Great encouraging marshalls, lovely scenery and nice flat course!
In full: This was my first 5 miler (finished in 47.41)and I really enjoyed it - a good route and lots of people clapping which was encouraging - seemed really well organised too and the goody bag was OK - my t-shirt is huge though! Would absolutely do this again..

In short: Very hot but what a lovely run
In full: Definite PB potential here if you haven't had a late night then gone to weightwatchers in the morning allowing no time to eat, drink, get to the race....................

Will definately do it next year (following my own advice above)

In short: Very enjoyable 5-miler
In full: Couldn't have asked for more ideal weather - the conditions made for a much more enjoyable run than last year. Really well organised race with wonderfully friendly and encouraging marshalls all the way. Took my time today and ran around with a friend which made the run more enjoyable.
Braved the wasps and went for a choc brownie from the fab cake stand this year ... was definitely worth it!
See you again next year!

In short: done this before and I will do it again!
In full: fairly flat scenic race, dips in the middle and goes up at the end. well organised - it would be even better with chip timing. Really enjoyed it and will be back next year

In short: well organised and friendly
In full: it looked like rain before we set off, but then the sun came out and it was hot hot hot! Well organised event with lots of friendly and supportive marshalls, important for back-markers like me.
