In short: Nice race
In full: Nice course, well organised with encouraging friendly marshalls.
1 Gripe - more water at the finish please it was almost gone by the time I finished and there was some red faced people who didn't get a drink, did this race in April last year and the same thing happened.

In short: Well organised race over a mildly tough course
In full: It felt like it was almost all uphill(!) Three laps though so it clearly wasn't, must just have been me. Good fast field, friendly, and well organised.

In short: a beautiful sunny day for a local race,
In full: thanks to all for shouts of encouragements, I love the finish going downhill, makes me feel like a "proper runner".This is a run for the casual runner/jogger as well as the club runners.
