In short: Very well organised and friendly race. Great way to end the year.
In full: Well done Royston Road Runners on a brilliantly organised event. Course was more undulating than I had expected, but enjoyed it nonetheless and still managed a PB. Will definately be back next year to do this one again.

In short: A great xmas challenge, as always!
In full: 4th year in a row for me, this race is a fixture in my calendar now. After the pug-ugly first 2 miles, it's a pleasant route along quiet country roads. Lots of ups and downs, but the 2nd half is much easier.

Brilliant marshalling, and a nice smattering of local support. Love the unusual momento, instead of a medal. Chip timing is great.

Overall, a great way to earn a few more mince pies!

In short: great race, excellent organisation by Royston Runners
In full: running through housing estate at start and end may not be scenic but nicely counterbalanced by the panoramic views inbetween

In short: Nice memento at the end and mars bar was good too. Even though there were some steep uphills, there were some nice looong downhills where you could really pick up speed.
