In short: A challenging climb to the finish but there were lots of marshalls to give lots of encouragement
In full: As a relative novice runner, this was a great race! The course is a little tough, having a climb to the finish from mile 3, but the marshalls were fantastic! Frequent mile markers helped with pace along the route. The cool clear weather and some nice scenery made for a perfect race - and my PB! (near the back)

In short: a nice friendly race and nice course
In full: I do this race every year to support our local clubs.The marshalls were all very friendly and encouraging. only moan is that the drinks station should be next to the finish not hidden at the back of the club house.Not a wise idea to finish in the mud, messed up by new trainers.see you next year

In short: Enjoyable but challenging
In full: Enjoyable friendly run round Accrigton with good support from the marshalls. Feel like a speed god in the 1st half with great views then fight you way up on the return to town

In short: Great race with good challenge but lacks finish
In full: Start is far away from registration and is all a little confusing, start line not obvious and you never knew when to stop your watch as no prominent finish line stood out.Well marshalled and friendly.Limited parking at registration.Some of the route is risky due to traffic and side streets were traffic could approach, a small incline leading to a downhill 2 milish with a good demanding hill for about 3 milish leading to flat.Thrown on to the boggy mud for the finishing count when there was a perfectly dry dirt track.Results found on accy road runners web site.pre race map not clear.
