In short: well done Doncaster on a great well marshalled race.
In full: was it just wishful thinking, but my and another athletes garmins showed the race distance as 3.27!!
thoroughly enjoyable race, giving excellent value for money. good crowd support on the short uphill section.
bottled water and a good t shirt thrown in for the entry fee.
see you in 2012.

In short: Great race
In full: Done this race many times since 1994, great atmosphere, well marshalled and well organised. Worth the 100 mile round trip with 12 fellow club members.
I am a course measurer and my only niggle is the start/finish keeps moving, yet it was last officially measured in 2008, and course has altered 3 times since then? I will be back next year.

In short: Fast race, well marshalled, mainly flat
In full: A well - organised race through the very centre of Doncaster's shopping district, primarily flat (about 12m of climbing on each of the three laps), well signed and marshalled, though with some sharp-ish turns, so if you're a faster runner, you probably want to get off at the front.
My only gripe would be that there are no km markers, but on a multiple - lap course this might I suppose be confusing?
Bottle of water and a t-shirt at the end for all finishers.
