In short: Very lucky with the weather. Parking needs sorting as too many were allowed in the park.
In full: Many road junctions were not stewarded and runners crossed over roads so that runners were on both sides of the road.

In short: A fantastic race for the seasoned pro, the first-timer, or the runner who is getting back his former fitness!
In full: I did this race about 10 years ago, and don't know how I haven't done it since!

It's a very user-friendly course, with a seemingly equal share of steepish downhills, steepish uphills, and gently undulating or level roads.

Everyone was friendly, runners and officials/marshall alike.

And the finish on the running track is an added bonus, a great welcome awaits all the runners!

I will definitely be returning next year!

And one last word, the t-shirts were brill (gold text on a white background). Something to wear with pride!

Thanks to all for a great day out

In short: a good run - car parking a problem though!
In full: They need to sort out the car parking. Stewards sort it initially but then disappear, so you end up getting blocked in for ages afterwards.
