In short: WOULD DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN
In full: The conditions were fine, a little windy but the main problem was that I had a cold, and my hoped for 73:00 ended up being 78:03. With a bad cold, I would have liked a hot shower at the end, but I heard that they were cold, and so went home dirty instead. Otherwise no complaints about a well organised race.

In short: A great post Christmas run
In full: Thank-you Royston Runners for local run that is worth turning up for. Surprisingly enough this is still my PB course.

In short: Another well organised race by Royston Runners.
In full: Apart from an iffy 7th mile [7:34...I don't think so], it was another fine effort from the RR club. Personally, whilst it's certainly different, I don't go much on the race memento. I'd rather have an item of clothing. That said, this race is a must in my calendar; see y'all next year.

In short: Very enjoyable, well marshalled, undulating race. Remembered the two visits to the mile one marker from a couple of years ago but forgot the climb in between. Will probably come back for more in the future.

In short: Nice end of year race.
In full: Marshalls were very good but would ahve preffered 3 water stations as i got a bit hot in my winter running gear (short's with long sleeeve top and vest on top), hall was warm for start and finish but no secure baggage area but that seemed to be ok as the shop area was right next door! will do again and thanks again to the marshalls!

In short: Nice local tester after Xmas
In full: Organisation not the best however everyone seemed to start on time. Upset that I had to wait between mile 3 and 8 for water. One girl stopped with dehydration. Comment to Organisers Water at 5/6 Miles please. Lots of local clubs and general runners attend good atmosphere. Testing course got a PB.

In short: A goodrace through some countryside, which was well organised.
In full: A thoroughly enjoyable race. Well organised through some nice countryside. The bit round the estate was a bit soul destroying to start, especially the switch back up the hill and the loop round the close. But all in all a good race.
