In full: lovely place, good access, great run and well organised. Only would have preferrerd it to be easier to put chips in and get the bag and get out. We will be back next year thankyou!

In full: Bit of a queue to drop of bags, & I wanted to see the risk assesment & could not find it (Am doing a HACCP course). Otherwise terrific race, excellent organisation & top hole goody bag which I was not expecting & filled the gap nicely.

In short: Excellent organisation and i-pod free!
In full: Even the weather managed to provide a dry interval for us to complete this race! Beautifully organised and marshals galore, plenty of support in the lanes and villages as we went. The hills weren't as bad as the race profile made them look, and the medal, goody bag and contents were well worth the trip. I really enjoyed my day even though it wasn't the fastest I've done. Well done Norwich!

In short: great goody bag, great organisation, good prospect for PB so long as weather is kind as its a two lap event. Great start and finsih at Norfolk showground.
