In short: Wet weather, slick organisation
In full: I only previously ran this race in 2008 as the 4.3k fun run. Nothing has changed in terms of the levels of organisation, still excellent and they are a lovely running club anyway. Running clubs know what runners need.
Pity about the weather, past 4 years it's alternated between very hot and very wet. So should be a scorcher next year when I return.
Well done ARC!

In short: Wet and challenging
In full: First time at this event, excellent organisation with brave marshaling in the very wet weather. Nice long hill to finish up on which made the course nicely challenging. Will certainly do it again next year. I hear that the chip timing didn't work which is a shame but shouldn't be too much of a negative. Well done to Aldridge Running Club.

In short: A very wet but thoroughly enjoyable race!
In full: Great organisation and a good challenging race with a good mixture of flat and hilly areas. The Hobs Hole Lane hill at the end is not as bad as it seems if you pace yourself carefully earlier in the race. Well done to all of the organisers,race stewards and spectators who braved the rain and coldness to support the runners on.
