In short: nice and flat
In full: lots of good encouragement from marshalls,but not too sure about results as i seem to have had 30 seconds added onto my time,and that 8 mile marker was not in the right spot, but at least 9 mile came round a bit quicker.apart from that i had a great day and shall run this race again.

In short: Was expecting flat fast with potential headwinds and that was what we got.
In full: I ran a PB on the course despite the wind between miles 3 and 6. Considering we were in the heart of the Fens I thought the scenery was remarkably varied. A good job well done by Fenland Runners.

In short: Fast run through the fens with good pb potential
In full: In general a good race. Flat and fast - but reliably windy!! Good organisation and marshalls - shame about the lack of toilets - and was it just me or was that 8mile marker a long time coming....made for a short last mile though.

In short: Hotly competed race with a really fast pace, Well organised from start to finish - good marshalling, directions and distance marking. Will do next year and would recommend to anyone looking to increase their pace.

In short: Lovely scenery, flat course, loads of marshals
In full: I found this event really hard - but I am sure that is because I had a bad day. The course was flat and through some lovely Fenland Towns, with marshals all the way through the course.
My only complaint is that the timing seemed dodgy. My Garmin had my time some 4 minutes faster than recorded - and it has been accurate on 2 Half Marathons in the last month.
