In short: Fun, challenging and well organised. Great fun with excellent Xmas atmosphere due to lots of fancy dress. A couple of nasty hills for a part-timer like myself, but a suitably challenging course.

In short: 2nd time and enjoyed the event - brilliant fun
In full: Off very quickly down hill almost from the start and then some up and downs over the remaining 3 miles so feels a challenge. Lots of marshalls and police so felt safe on the local roads. Will be back again.

In short: Felt a fraud running without costume but a really nice race on a really nice sunny winter morning
In full: 15 minutes from home which always helps. Unusual distance so PBs are almost guaranteed unless you were slower last year. Can't comment on the quality of the prize, two weeks to wait for that.
I felt a bit of a fraud in t-shirt and shorts so I felt obliged to let Santa overtake me in the last thirty metres.
