In short: Scenic race on a challenging course!
In full: The weather did not detract from the scenery. Well organsied pre race and at the hall. One minor criticism is that the water station at mile 6 ran out of water before I got there! Nice cakes at the end! Finally big thanks to all the marshalls especially Anne before the mile 6 water station, they were very encouraging and cheery despite the weather!!

In short: Club member allowed to run!
In full: After marshalling this run for many years I was allowed to run because of the number of club members available.
Although I am obviously biased I was proud to be a member of a club who had such a huge marshall turn out in horrendous weather and unfailingly support every runner. Even our couple who married the day before turned up!!

In short: Interesting, scenic course with excellent marshalls!
In full: Great course showing off some of the best of Norfolk countryside. Big thank-you to the marshalls who had to endure some fairly inclement weather, particularly on the more exposed parts of the course.
Homemade cakes at the end were excellent!!!

In full: First time at this race and loved it. A testing course in parts and a good indication as to how your training's going, if you PB on this course your in good shape. A PB for me, so happy with my day despite the wind and rain.

In short: Really well organised race
In full: Really enjoyed this race despite the weather. The Marshalls were excellent and the facilities were very good too. It was a nice touch to be handed a cup of water as you crossed the finish line. The cakes and sandwiches available from inside the hall were also particularly welcome. Only slight disappointment is that the results aren't available on the website yet. I would however defintely recommend this race.

In short: Well organised, good fun, windy.
In full: Parking was a bit crazy on arrival but it's not a massive place so shouldn't grumble. Good course, a bit hilly here and there, cold and windy but the stewards were really encouraging. Got a PB time as well. Thanks Norwich Road Runners.
