In short: i did the 7.5 mile (not up to a 15 mile just yet!) - disappointed at lack of atmosphere on the day, but more disappointed by results STILL not being available for 7.5 mile 1 week after race .

In full: Not as flat as I thought it would be, nice course, think I saw father christmas sat on a bench with his shirt off, soaking up the sun.

In short: A nice scenic race, a good one as long as the weather holds
In full: I enjoyed this as my first run longer than a 1/2 marathon. Absolutely fine until mile 14 - when a big hill appeared from nowhere! Despite that, and a really slow time I really enjoyed it and should be back again next year. Scenic and well worth doing.

In short: Undulating race taking in scenery in perfect September weather
In full: Start was a little chaotic seeing as cars were being let through until about 30 s before the start. Nice scenery once we got going, especially the blackberries. Not many supporters around the course especially considering the good weather, but some would have been involved in the fun run. Water did run out at various points. Good value. Speed generally not that fast at the front, but not that slow at the back if you see what I mean? Got a medal as the memento at the end, which I hadn't expected.

In full: Basically a small but enjoyable event.

In short: Very Good Race, Nice Relatively Flat course
In full: Nice race, run at a nice time of year. The course is relatively flat so a PB is possible, which I achieved. As the race is run over 2 laps, you pass the start and finish at 7 1/2 miles, allowing you to see your friends and family half way round. Well organised. A race I would definately do again.

In short: Beautiful day, friendly runners. More hills than you'd expect, but very manageable. Decided not to look at my watch and finished in, for me, an excellent time. Rural, not too many cars, just what you want for a long run!
