In short: Definately my favourite race of the year - but it hurts!
In full: Not quite as much chocolate as last year in the goodie bag - but a fantastic long sleeved technical tee-shirt more than made up for that!!
Only gripe (as usual!) loos at start - couldn't we make the gents into ladies to ease the queue?

In short: 2nd year and will be coming back for more!
In full: Fantastic race, hilly but well worth it for the scenery, the wonderful marshalls and the goody bag, which has to be the best in the region if not the country! T-shirt is brilliant to. Managed to knock 5 mins of last year's time, so a well happy bunny!

In short: once again a fantastic race with brilliant friendly encouraging marshalsl
In full: inspite of it being a dull day, the atmosphere was great, the marshals brilliant and the event was very well organised. The goodie bag did not contain as much chocolate as last year but perhaps thats a good thing (though disappointing). nice technical T more than makes up for having less chocolate this year! This race still gives the most generous goodie bag I have ever seen. Will be back to see if I can get to grips with those hills. Thank you Nidd Valley Road Runners
