In short: Apart from the last 2 miles dragging on & on I liked the bloke offering beer by the roadside after just 4 miles!
In full: This was my first go at one of these and will definitely have another go. It was good to get encouragement from the marshalls and other runners, even if some were flying past!

In short: Very well-organised race. And it's flat!
In full: Well worth the drive up from London; everything from parking to registration to marshalling was carried out smoothly and efficiently. The race itself is as flat as Tom's head after Jerry has hit it with a dustbin, and the medal is way above average. Highly recommended!
