In short: Flat course, well organised, nice t-shirt.
In full: I have done this race for the past few years. Really friendly atmosphere, well marshalled with a flat course with great P.B. potential. Nice t-shirt to finish which is always a bonus.

In short: Flat but still challenging for me. The lack of water stations was a disappointment. But overall a nice run.

In short: Well organised race for my 1st 5 miler. Nice and flat with good start/finish. Shame there was no water stations.

In short: Well organised race with marshals all the way round.
In full: Could have been hazardous crossing the roads, but marshals were at all crossings and the motorists seemed to be patient (I wish those at all races were as patient).

Mostly flat and therefore probably PB potential.

A definite for next year.
