In short: Well done to all the local people that helped out on the day In full: I ran this race last year, and found it very enjoyable. So i was very positive and i knew the course, but i still found it challenging, i thought i was gunna get a PB. but it was to bloody hot. Well done to all the helpers who supplied the waters and stuff it was very good and i thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will do it again next year well done. Date of review: May 18, 2008

In short: Second time here - hot this year - but such a friendly race setup! In full: I arrived late for this race - but that didn't bother the race crew one bit - they quickly gave me a number, handed me a map, gave me a safety briefing and sent me on my way.
The course heads down through suburbia then snakes through some houses, then heads out towards some greenery then back round for a second lap. It's not flat - in fact there are some horrid inclines.
But the marshalls and the drinks stations are superb - especial thanks to the two families opening up their homes as drink and loo stations - friendly and excellent (thanks especially to the lady with all the ice at the bottom of the hill leading up into the woods!)
Excellent Saturday race - do it! Date of review: May 10, 2008
