In short: Fantastic Race and PB Potential. Great Race.
In full: I was a beginner and found this race perfect for me to start my race experience. Everyone was friendly, the course was laid out clearly and there were plently of Marshall and organisational staff there to help. Very well presented in Marston Vale Forest park, I may have to take the family for a picnic now! Great first race for me, My time 23.13. So im happy.

In short: great location - excellent PB potential- great place for supporters
In full: I'm sure many runners will be bringing the family back to look round the park - great place - didn't really know it existed. Local club who organised it did a great job. Recommended

In short: Fast flat race on a good surface
In full: Really enjoyed this ... my first 5k and I finished faster than I was hoping for. I somehow doubt I will ever be able to repeat it over the distance. Oh well, more training here we come ...
