In full: Flat PB course was the main attraction for me in advance of this race, but was also impressed by the organisation and the scenery.

In short: First ever race, used it as a warm up for the Great Manchester Run, expected a scenic trot on a cool summers evening. Got a soaking wet sprint and the wheels fell off at 4K, but carried on to finish in 21:22. Loved it and will be back next year.

In short: Well managed, flat left-hand course.
In full: Start is about a kilometre away from the finish so parking is a bit of a pain. Decent race though, I'd definitely do it again.

In short: Well-organised fast and friendly race, Shame about the rain
In full: Great fun for a Friday, fast, flat courrse, friendly marshalls in spite of bucketing rain. Good post-race pub (The Plough) who didn't mind me wringing out my vest in the gents.

In short: Fast fast fast!
In full: Despite the rain this was another fast race. The course is tops for PBing, yet the race is big and friendly enough for beginers.

Well done to the organisers. Thanks!

In short: Excellent sprint in the rain
In full: Well the heavens opened just on time for the start of this one. Been feeling ropey all week but still managed to pull out a pb on this flat fast course that is well marshalled. Highly recommended to all.
