In short: Great organisation, flat as a pancake.
In full: My second time in this race, and will do it again. The scenery isn't great, but I don't run races for the scenery! Its very nice though along the seafront. The marshalls and organisation are the best you will see in a race. Very friendly and doubled up on every post. Baggage hold like clockwork, and toilet queues improved from last year. Nice goody bag and medal. Well done Gosport Road Runners.

In full: Happy return this year after injuring myself 12 months ago. Great flat course, excellent marshals and organisation. The youngsters did a great job on the water stations - well done, much appreciated. I'll be back next year.

In short: Flat, fast and flippin' good value.
In full: A rather 'contrived' route, but a good mix - with the airfield and the Solent, particularly on yet another unseasonably warm day. The marshals were friendly and encouraging. Perhaps charge a little more and have bottled water at the w. stations, and have drinking water more readily available at beginning and end of run.

In full: flat route that allowed for plenty of supporters to cheer on runners. flat course to get runners a PB maybe.....only negative, better signage to race car park especially as many runners from outside the area.

In full: Great organisation again, marshalls very encouraging the whole way round the course. Nice to see the band back in the airfield. My son did the kids race and was chuffed with his medal and great goodie bag, far better then the great south run. Nice medal and goodie bag, will be back next year
