In short: Fantastic all round
In full: First time I have done Worksop, managed a PB so loved it. The hill at the start means you can't go off too quick and at the end you run down the same hill to the finish, so you know you will pick up some speed. Great atmosphere. Plenty of ups and downs, it really is undulating.

In short: Best race yet for me - and definite PB potential!!
In full: This event was very well organised. I enjoyed the whole day and couldn't fault anything. The Halloween theme was great and I loved the halloween technical t shirts.
Everything was so well thought of, you can tell the event is good because there were over 2000 runners there!! There were enough water stations and cold wet sponges which I thought was really good. The marshals were all fab and the course scenery is lovely, definite PB potential, I think for me it was because it was cooler and iPods were allowed :)
The price was great too, to say there was a t shirt, goody bag, water etc...
I would 100% do this event next year!!

In short: Beautiful autumnal Clumber Park
In full: My second year in a row running this race. Will be back again next year. It's an undulating race with closed roads and most of the course within Clumber Park. Easy to park, well organised and friendly. Managed to bag a PB which is surprising as not the flattest course.

In short: Fabulous once again and even better getting a dry wick T shirt at the end
In full: Think this was my 5th or 6th Worksop and I love it though the first hill seemed far steeper than ever before. Could have done with some sweets or the gel that was in my goodie bag at about mile 9, but all in all a great race. thanks
