In short: Marshalls needed cheering up
In full: Nice Sunday morning run. Have done it the third time but this time the marshalls really didn't deliever (they used to be soo great). What happened to the lovely man who cheered us on at the end of the steep one? Otherwise nice race. Not many beginners which is a shame.

In short: Hilly but really great atmosphere.
In full: It was hilly (three laps with a hill at the start and finish) and windy and I had a stinking cold, but still managed two minutes away from my PB for five miles. I would definitely do it again next year. Oh, and a great t-shirt that I would wear out and about instead of just for decorating - they offer you a choice of sizes :)

In short: Great marshalling and the hill wasn't so bad, although you'll feel it when you finish

In short: Really enjoyable, for my first race.
In full: I would like to say a big thank you to the marshalls who were fantastic with their encouragement. I haven't raced before and have only been running since December last year. This was a great little test for me, a couple of small inclines that were quite challenging. I was aiming for 45 mins and did it in 44:07 so I was very happy with that result. Well organized race, thank you for making my first race a memorable one.
