In short: Superb and tough.
In full: 2nd time of competing in my club's race. Still unrivalled for organisation. It was a hot day and even on a cool day you can rule out PBs- I ran over 1 minute down on mine- but come for a great hilly race.

In short: Very tough 10K
In full: Second year doing this and very warm again. Totally blew up after going off too fast, but enjoyed it nevertheless. On the whole organisation very good, but I echo another poster who commented on the chaotic car parking at the Leisure centre early on. It seemed the marshalls organising the parking could have done with being there 20 minutes earlier, as once they started letting people park on the field it all seemed OK (by this time I had parked 10 minutes away). This was a minor issue though and I'm being a bit picky as all other aspects of the orgainsation were great- I'll certainly give it another go next year.

In short: Great race - big hills - felt really good when it had ended!
In full: Nearly gave up and walked on some of the earlier hills - very tough and boy was it hot. But nice downhill towards the end and superb goody bag/tee. Thanks.

In short: Some tough hills especially for the first 3K. Marshalls were fantastic support, good water stops and a nice finishing line that is deceptively long when you have it in your sights! Hope to be back next year.r.
