In short: Excellent race, course, organisation
In full: Such a well organised event - have it all covered from car park marshalls to changing facilities and a fast course to boot! Love the goody bag (no flyers!) and very impressive medal!
Best event I have participated in - even beats the big Bristol races (10Km and Half). I will be back!

In short: Excellent well organised race
In full: Undulating course with no real steep climbs, good spectator support and excellent goody bag at the finish. Very windy on the day which took away chance for a PB

In short: Good race despite the wind; but pedestrian access issue
In full: I enjoyed my run despite the gusty wind. It was at least dry! I was disappointed that 2 gates onto the Showground that I tried were closed to pedestrian access, one opposite the Premier Inn (unlike in March 2011). This was not great just ahead of the race. The map for entrants shows lots of gates and those closed should be marked.
