In short: Just want i needed before running the stroud half at the end of october i.e. mid morning mass start and running with a pack of similar quick runners.
In full: Where last year, I was presented with a golden shoe for finishing the race, this year a nice surprise and bonus was the finishers t-shirt; which i only know about it the 8km mark, when i saw a finisher running back down the course cooling down. Much needed encouragement as i'm a t-shirt person not medal. Yes it was white but it did have a fine red desigh on it. in my opinion the race had all the elements you needed and for me went without a problem. Looking forward to the official results to go onto the Cirencester AC Web page. All being well will do again next year. Thanks Cirencester AC.

In short: Nice location. Run on paved roads around Earls estate. nice long drive, through trees too. Enjoyed Spitfire that flew by. Nasty hill half way around. Enjoyed the run though and pleased with nice print T-shirt!

In short: Pretty course, well organised
In full: The race seemed decently well organised, the course was clearly marked and fun - a bit of undulation but each hill was over with very quickly, some lovely scenery through the forest. There were good facilities (parking, loos, changing rooms, refreshments stand, small sports-gear stall) and the people I met were nice. It seemed to me to lack a bit of atmosphere though - just a bit quiet, maybe the drizzly weather put off spectators from coming. I'd definitely do it again, and may make it a target race next year because it's a pretty PB-able course.
