In short: Well organised, good value for money but shame about the route
In full: Lots of marshalls, good race facilities and good balanced field. Shame it's not on a better route, as there's a bit too much traffic on the Nursteed Road and the final loop was a bit demoralising. Devizes has so many good places to run so it seems a shame this race misses them.
Could we get Wadworth's to sponsor - a horse brass would make a fab souvenir!

In short: Very well organised and marshalled, nice course
In full: 2nd time I've run it. Car-parking and race mashalling is excellent. As much of the race is along a busy road, the race marshalling is particularly important. Devizes do an excellent job here.
Good spectator points, as the route loops back on itself a couple of times.
The results were posted up on the web by 3.00pm; very quick. Well done Devizes.

In short: Well organised but a dull course.
In full: Cousre was slightly disappointing bearing in mind how pretty the area around Devizes is. The Kennet Kanter manages to incorporate some of the best scenery so I'm sure they could fine a better route.
