In short: Good race - shame about the start
In full: Overall a good race, flat course through nice countryside - just a shame about the rain. Race spoiled by a shabolic start with runners facing the wrong direction and no-one to tell them any different until some rude official made them turn around. Seemed strange that with five minutes to go and everyone lined up to set off they then had to move to let cars through.

In short: Good race let down by the start
In full: On the whole this is a good race but one or two tweaks could be made. The start was really crowded and could the organisers please make sure everyone is at least facing in the correct direction when the gun goes off next year. No 6 or 7 km markers, bit stingy at the water station - my paper cup was only about 1/4 full and a really grumpy and rude official at the start.
Other than that good value a nice course and a PB made good day out.

In short: Get it sorted
In full: Excellent course after the first lap of the housing estate is over and done with, but please do something about the start. Half the field were facing the wrong way when the gun went off.

In short: Organisation could have been better?
In full: The start was a little chaotic and I couldn't find the 6k & 7k markers. Weather was not to my liking, I prefer sun above light drizzle but at least it wasn't windy.

In short: Enjoyable and overall well organised
In full: Apart from the start, a really good race. Well marshalled, with a nice, friendly feel to it. The cross country bit felt more demanding this year (must be my age!), but still managed to get close to a PB. And to get the results e-mailed to you within a couple of hours of the race finishing is brilliant - well done to all.

In short: After a chaotic start, it was just fine - and pretty good support
In full: But I missed these cakes everyone is enthusing about - but a PB more than made up for it!
