In short: Does what it says on the tin. A real 'Fun Run', something to do at the weekend.
In full: Could complain about a few things but this isn't supposed to be a race so it would be terribly unfair of me to do it. A good laugh on an 'interesting' course. Main shame about all the road works, but in a way made it even more comical.

In full: What a fab day out! Didn't see anyone wearing a frown with their Santa Suits, just how it should be. This will be a definate on my calendar every year.

In short: Come for the fun, not for a PB
In full: Better route than last year - published route looks better still, but can't avoid roadworks at moment. Never seen so many smiling faces. Even my wife managed to smile and run at the same time! Let's hope we got the record

In short: Great spectacle - excellent to be a part of.
In full: Well organised. Good fun. Even worth the embarrassment of getting dragged out of our hotel room by the fire alarm at 7am dressed like Santa!

In short: Santa suit plus hangover = pain
In full: Worth turning up for just for the novelty of being in amongst that many Santas but don't follow my build up of hideous drunkenness and less than 4 hours sleep if you want to enjoy it to the full.

Excellent goody bag but a few bottlenecks because of the council digging up the roads were a bit annoying. Still, no one's doing it for a PB are they?
