In full: Good mix of runners from the very quick looking for a PB to the locals supporting a good cause. The young marshals who looked very smart in their uniforms didn't add a lot by merely pointing out the very obvious route. They looked more bored than the dummies lining the route (real dummies, not spectators!) And why bother with handing out a plastic bag with a piece of paper in it saying I did the run? Mine went in the bin I'm afraid. A pat on the back and a 'well done' would have been better.

In short: Nice race for all runners, well worth the trip.
In full: I know the event was put on in aid of charity but something other than a empty plastic bag might bring the punters coming back in future years. The course was not adequately distance marked and finish was poorly identified. overall could

In short: Fast, flat race
In full: Excellent race - well organised, flat, traffic-free. Goodie bag was empty, but I don't need another cotton t-shirt and it was a charity event.
Only minor gripes are lack of km markers and the 'dummies' cheered more that the marshals!
