In short: as always a great little race
In full: This is the 3rd time we've done this (it was our very first race) and its great for beginners - very flat - a water station half way round - good t shirt and lots of encouragement from the marshalls. - Great getting their early and seeing all the kids on the fun run really pelting round

In short: Very good race, very flat and definatly very fast!
In full: I started running in march and this was my fourth race as i'm training towards the Robin Hood half Marathon in Sept and I'm a consistant 10minute miler so to finish in 44minutes was great and I shall certianly be back to try and improve on that time next year. It was an extremly good course,well marshalled and very well organised. The atmosphere was very friendly and my 3 young children loved it and are eager to try the Fun Run next time.

In full: My first race so was vey nervous but have to say i loved it!! Flat, good mix of scenery and friendly atmosphere. I hope all races are as good as this! Even the weather was ideal. If still unsure then free beer at the end should clinch the deal!
