In short: An excellent race especially if you want a PB
In full: Again a well organisied event, but on the 65th anniversary It was always going to be. Shame people were still arriving at 10:50 and expecting that not to cause a problem, but the organisers were kind and delayed the start 15mins, which given it was a pleasant day did cause any great issue with those of us who arrive on time. Then excellent running throughout flat fast course with only a slight breeze this year resulting in the national standard for 5 miles for the first time. What a wonderful momento too.

In short: Fast course despite the wind
In full: Well worth the 170mile round trip, coming away with a 49 sec pb.
Unusual set up with a lap of a track to set you off, and then some pathy road fare for most of the race, until a 100metre on the track finish.
Quality standard, 28.05 was only 31st position for me today..but what do you expect for a well known race in an area with quality runners.

In short: Pan flat 5 miler offering excellent VFM
In full: The start was a bit tight, but fine once we were off the track. The course is very flat with plenty of PB potential as long as it isn't too windy (it wasn't).
The 15 minute delay to the start didn't bother me. The venue, organisation and marshalls were excellent.
Good prize for the 65th aniversary of the race, not bad for a tenner.

In short: Seen better organisation and Brewery comes to mind..... Poor alll round today...
In full: Fora UKA Bronze event should be better - Delays in starting..... only 1 person on combined late entries / on line entries.
Mile markers well out of position
Total confusion in the finish funnels... will be amazed if get the right result......
Very poor effort for the 65th anniversry race Im sorry to say

In full: First time at this my most "Local" of 5 mile races,very well organised and friendly race,flat fast course with good PB potential (if the wind allows,it can be very breezy on this course),nice mix of abilites makes this an enjoyable all round event,the excellent organisation is the icing on the cake.

In full: no problems with parking, but we did get there early. Great facilities and at least those watching had somewhere to get a drink etc. I found the route fine it was my first time running this race, I would pay more for a chip for accurate timing but would do this race again
