In short: I'm from the states, and am in the UK for two months. I wanted to see how the it is done here. The course was well marshalled. The finish after the big hill was fun and fast.

In short: Good local race. With normaly good organisation.
In full: Good local race with good course but the lack of parking due to weather really had an impact with runners struggling to find spaces, hopefully it didn't annoy the locals too much.

In short: Friendly atmosphere, nice scenery good local support.
In full: Race Marshals were very encouraging and the local support was lovely towards the end of the race. Atmosphere was very friendly with runners who had finished still giving encouragement to those still running...always a nice touch.

In short: Great club race, well organised and friendly
In full: This was the third time i've done this race and they have always organised wonderfull weather. A really quick course up to 5 miles then a hill which takes it out of you. Friendly marshalls as well always giving you support. I shall be back next year without a doubt.

In short: A nice low key club race, well organised and welcoming.
In full: Enjoyed this race again, no frills just a nice run through good countryside with lots of support and well organised. Shame about the car parking this year but just one of those things, at least they organised perfect weather. Don't expect lot's of goodies just a good friendly run. Oh yes and a hill!

In short: Great scenic countryside race, recommended!
In full: Great race this was on perhaps warmest evening of the year so far. Loads of marshals, some good local support. Hill in the last mile was hard going but other than that it seemed on the easier side of undulating! Would definately do this again. Only downsides were difficulty parking before the race, and some car dodging throughout the race. Oh, and not sure about the yellow plastic memento, is it a coaster? Oh well, still a great race.
