In short: New course has lots of up and down. No chance of a PB for me but far more interesting than the old course.
In full: Loads of friendly marshals braving the cold to shout encouragement. Start was a bit cramped for the number of runners. Perhaps we should run round the estate or something first to try and distribute the people before heading up the hill.

In short: New course much harder, and start a disaster!
In full: The race was moved to give fewer road crossings etc, but the start was dreadful. However, after the first 1/2 mile the course was great, marshals encouraging, and thoroughly enjoyed it. My local race, so please just sort out the first bit!

In short: Much harder course than previous years but still a good race
In full: This route is much hiller than the old one but that just makes it more interesting. I managed a PB which I was hoping for on the old flat route so I was delighted to have got my new PB on the harder route. The start was a bit chaotic becase the start line wasn't obvious infact wasn't visible at all, so all in all very confusing. I don't know where I crossed the start line so don't know if I started my own watch at the right time. I know it's chip timmed but I always go by my watch. I'm sure this is just teething problems for the new location.
