In short: had a terrible run - but the atmosphere was brilliant and kept me going! the course is tough but rewarding. the finish was crazy though - all penned in waiting for goody bags, saw a couple of people pass out. needs sorting for next year!!

In short: Tough course but the good turnout makes it well worth the effort. The hills make it interesting and seperate the men from the boys!

In short: Great race!! Superb support and clockwork organisation.
In full: With all the hills and the hot weather this race is a good challenge, but the phenomenal support all the way round the course really helps. Special mention to those with the hose pipes, supersoakers and jelly babies!

In short: still not as good as the potts marathon, but still they find the hills. great one at 11-5 miles. great idea of time bands for medals. great shirt and plate. some slower runners plus 2 hours delayed at finish.

In short: Really enoyable race with immense crowd support.
In full: I'll definitely be back for this race again! Challenging route with a couple of tough hills. Nice medal, t-shirt and plate which was a nice touch. Brilliant crowd support, longish decline to finish and a big loud crowd along the finishing stretch made it a very memorable finish.
