In short: A classic race!
In full: Always a top field up front, good local support and the challenge of one hill at the half way point. An annual event for me!

In short: I use this race as the focus race of the year for PB attempt.
In full: I really enjoy this race so I'm a bit biased. There are runners of all calibre and this creates a good strong field and hence the PB potential. Although not entirely flat, the depth of runners definately help pull you along to a fast time, if thats your goal. I would highly recommend this race to anyone (and regularly do).

In full: I set a new 2nd worst time here so I might have a objective view .. sorry.
