In short: Great run in the rolling Yorkshire hills - scenery made every uphill worth the effort!
In full: Well organised, with the most friendly and encouraging marshalls ever! Some very steep climbs followed by long downhills, and a more lively wind than last year.

In short: More than a thousand feet of ascent.
In full: More off road than last year which was great. Running in front of the castle seemed a bit contrived (who was that guy?)The t-shirt makes a really good item of night attire whereas last year's large size can actually be worn out of doors. Really good race though.Lots of interesting things to look at in the town hall. Friendly, encouraging marshalls.

In short: This race just seems to get bigger. Quite possibly the most friendly and encouraging marshalls I have ever come across. Love it!

In short: Excellent course and marshalls - very professional event
In full: Maybe start time needs tweaking to avoid double decker bus again ? Moving the finish from last year made me panic ! But a great event - a must in the calendar.
