In short: Fantatstic Races for all the Family
In full: An excellent race which produce an abundance of smiles. My daughter recieved her first ever race number for the under fives race and a medal at the end (all free to enter). I got a PB on a undulating course and my wife enjoyed the atmosphere, this race is a must. The rganisation is brilliant and atmosphere superb, this is the type of event that UKA should focus on to get all ages into athletics!

In short: 2 laps with hills
In full: The organisation was excellent. There was a nice friendly atmosphere. There was a nasty hill which lasted about 1/4 mile and being a two lap race it was a bit depressing having gone up it the first time knowing that it was coming round again. However, easily made up the time on the downhill bits and it was a fast finish, the last mile and a bit being all down hill.

In short: Cracking little 2 lap race
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race - marshalls cheery and the locals were encouraging. Undid all the good work by stuffing a cheeseburger down my throat afterwards.

In short: Overton 5
In full: This course is deceptive.
The ascents and descents are quite steep but are short so, although it seems tough to handle, you can run a PB in this race - just keep the faith and it works out. The 4th mile is very slow but the 5th mile is very quick.
