In short: Very hilly, well organised good downhill finish
In full: MAybe worth sorting the traffic as cars trying to get into park and out of park caused jams. Consider allowing cars to exit out of normal way out. Shame the race is not when the park and attractions are open - may attract more families to have the day out

In short: you must try this race if only for the scenery, beware of the "undulation" it can hurt !
In full: Nothing really new to report, more loos would be good but there is always a last minute rush
Why was there a problem gettig out ? Perhaps there needs to be a one way system or more signs to gain an alternative exit. However at great race well organised.

In short: the first hill that you have to do twice, feels like a mountain! puts new perspective to the term "hilly"!! But the down to the end makes it all worth while - bit like childbirth - as soon as u have your medal you're back to grinning at the hills!!

In short: Awesome
In full: Graded starting point was a great idea for those who observed it. My only complaint would be ignorant people who attended a very busy race with their dogs and then forced their way through from the back of the pack, it wasn't great to be pushed out of the way going up a tightly packed first hill by a grunting poodle pulling its owner up the hill only to see it at the top answering the call of nature as I passed, for it to come past me again dragging its owner along - why not go the whole hog and I'll bring Beethoven from the movies next year!!! But apart from that I managed to set a Personal Best and the run for the last 800m along Lodge Drive was made fantastic by the Commentator screaming down the loudspeaker, countdowns to the one hour marker every 15 secs, I've never run so hard trying to make it - can he go to all races!!!
