In short: A great race, lovely scenery and well organised.
In full: I know a lot of organisation went into this event and they like to make it a big event.
The loud gun start made everyone jump which was funny. Really enjoyed the dancers on the village green and obviously the tent full of cakes after. Nice course through the countryside and a challenging hill right at the end. Will defnitely be back next year and everyone was very friendly. Excellent marshalling too. Thank you.

In short: Hard work, friendly, well organised
In full: Thanks for an enjoyable race, well organised and marshalled. I was inwardly complaining at that final hill (especially near the top), but it didn't seem as bad as last year and the weather was so much better. The start and finish through the avenue of trees is splendid and I'd recommend this as a friendly, suitably challenging small race to anyone who hasn't done it. I liked the mug as a memento. Thank you to the maker of the courgette cake.

Definitely pb-course but felt tired from last weeks 10k. :-(
Will be back next year!!!

In full: They got all the things right as far as runners are concerned - accurate course measurement. Mile markers in the right place. Clear marshalling. Quick results. Photos available at the finish. One point about the cakes... - how about having them in the presentation hall next time as I found it a little difficult to shovel down a slab of cake so soon after racing flat out for nearly an hour!
