In short: Just about perfect. More fun than the VLM. Throw in a bouncy castle, and this could be love...
In full: What a superb race from the Harvel team - just wonderful - normally a half of bitter mid race would seem silly - here it made perfect sense. Like going for a run with loads of mates in beautiful surroundings with ice creams, good food and more beer waiting for you. If there were something for kids to do in the start/finish field whilst waiting for the runners, it would be the race without peer. When can I sign up for 2013?
