In short: Nice race
In full: A hot day but plenty of water stops. Good support. A 2 lap course with only one hill of note at 7miles but with a steep downhill at mile 8 it compensates for this. The course makes Burton look picturesque taking you along the river floodplain. Nice T shirt given. Didn't like having to pay 2 quid for parking.

In short: A very well organised and friendly event.
In full: A very hot day and with one notable hill (twice), this race proved to be a bit tougher than anticipated. The scenic marshland section and encouraging marshalls were great though. Suprised that more don't enter!!

In short: A race with everything.
In full: This race had everything, ups, downs, scenery, club runners, slow runners. The gruelling hill about 7 miles kept things interesting but the downhill afterwards gave you chance to get your breath. Great day out with excellent organisation.
One thing I would say is that on such a hot day it would have been nice to have bottled water at the end, had to help yourself to it from a barrel.
Good race, would do it again.
