In short: Well organised, easy to get to, a race to recommend!
In full: First time at Clowne, but not knowing the area, found it easily following signs from M1. Organisation excellent, parking easy, plenty of loos and refreshments, undulating course, quality tee shirt as memento. Thanks to everyone involved with this race.

In short: Tough and challenging
In full: My first time at this race and the first thing that hit me was the massive amount of organisation that has gone in to it to make it a success. The marshalls and all helpers were superb especially turning out in such awful weather. You locals let us take over your town for a few hours for which I am most grateful. Long may this race continue and thankyou to all who were involved

In short: Very cold, wet and grey, but despite that the marshalls kept smiling!
In full: Very good organisation, good route (potentially quick in good weather?), cheery and encouraging marshalls and quailty T-shirt. Well done Clowne!

In full: Really enjoyable race, nice scenery. Marshalls were super as was the organisation. Didn't beat my PB but didn't expect to due to the hills!!

In short: Good one!
In full: My first go at this one. I heard it was undulating and it certainly was. Only to be expected in Derbyshire, though. Marshals and water station folks were great. Nice atmosphere.
First 9 miles I was fine then I really suffered for the rest of it.
Weather wasn't great but made it more rewarding knowing that I'd got round.
