In short: Excellent Race, well organised and fast pb course
In full: My 2nd year doing this race and it really is a fast course. A couple of inclines over the motorways but the rest is flat.

Nice touch with getting a towel, much need for cross country season!

Well done to Spectrum Striders

In short: great, friendly race!
In full: I'm a slower runner (11min miles) and this was perfect race for me, loads of friendly marshalls, big turn out which means I'm not left running on my own, water half way round, good clear finish to give you a buzz and LOVED the towel and flowers to finish!
Would definately do it again!

In short: Good average race.
In full: I'm not sure why I clocked it as too long 6.28 on the Garmin. I wonder if anyone else clocked it as being long?

In short: Quick and Flat
In full: Ample parking and good atmosphere at start. A nice flat route - never mind what some will say on here but three bridges over motorways although at the end do not make this a none flat race. And I got a PB so good PB potential
