In short: Pleasant course - pity about the weather fantastic marshalls
In full: This years race was challenging due to the attrocious weather conditions. However the marshalls were fantastic I didn't pass one that didn't offer encouragement. The course is set around the quiet villages and broads of Norfolk and in good weather is as scenic as anywhere. Mildly challenging so any chance of a PB will indicate how training is really going.

In short: good race, wet and windy!!
In full: i really enjoyed the race today, conditions were awful with wind and rain - but the route was quite sheltered behind those Norfolk hedges for much of the time. Good organisation, well marshalled, and my time was only 49 seconds outside my 6 year old PB!!
Thanks

In short: Lovely run through beautiful Norfolk countryside
In full: A great race, nice route taking in lovely Norfolk villages and even a broad, to make you wish you could dip your tired feet in its cooling waters. A few testing hills. Friendy marshals cheering you on. Great job guys. I will be back

In short: Well organised and friendly not a pb course.
In full: This is a well organised and friendly event. The course is full of great scenery and you also pass Woodeforde's brewery (Home of Wherry bitter). Just the place to visit after you have completed this nicely challenging course. If you get a pb here your training is going well.
