In short: Well organised and friendly race
In full: As usual, Royston Runners have organised this race with their usual efficiency. No problems with the distribution of the chips, a plentiful supply of marshals, and a decent goody bag at the end.

In short: Good Course
In full: I enjoyed the course once it got out into the country. I could have done without running around the residential streets and would have preferred to run through the main street of the town to make up the distance. But this was a minor niggle, overall the course was great. I was not aware of any problems in organisation and there were no long waits for anything in my experience.

In short: Great Race to Round off a dull year
In full: Another fantastic race by Royston Runners, I think that this course definitely a under-rated course with a hidden PB in for everyone, as it has a mix of a few steep climbs around 3.5, and then 5.5 as you turn back to finish, plus a few nice long down steady down hills to compensate.

In short: good ....but same moan as last year
In full: A good course to run, and today's weather was perfect for that. Marshals must have got really frozen though so THANKS to everyone who helped put this on. I checked my comment from last year on this race - same moan today about inaccurate placed mile markers 6:15 for mile 5, 7:40 for mile 6 ... it's wrong somewhere on that part of the course. Please have a look for next year as it is one of the basics and shame to be moaning about it. Chip timing was good.
