In short: Well organised
In full: The organisation of this race is very good particularly considering it is a relatively small race. I got my PB for the second year running. It is a fairly fast course but more hills than I had remembered!

In short: A very enjoyable local race
In full: I was disappointed with my race time, which was nearly 1.5 mins. slower than last year. I put it down to the humidity, and windy conditions.

This is a very friendly race, but also competitive. The Marshalls were excellent, as usual, and the organisation was very professional. I will certainly be back again next year, and will also run the 10 mile later in the year.

In short: The Marshalls are fantastic
In full: This race is very well organised and marshalled, they really seem to make the extra effort. Shame about the gates not being open as this could have caused a few issues but luckily the couple of slower runners coming the opposite way were more than happy to wait for us to come through. Good race with some genuinely nice and friendly people organising it.
