In short: One of my favourites
In full: Echo all the plaudits but with one very small grumble, for the second year in a row the XL t-shirts ran out before I ran in - 46 mins. As it 'appens, technical shirts seem to be smaller sizes so the XXL shirt fits great! Other than that, a thoroughly enjoyable and well organised event whatever the weather. Well done and thanks LERC

In short: LERC Congrats on a fantastic event
In full: Well done on a fantastic event today (5 miler). Support of the marshalls was amazing, loved the cow bells. They really made the difference. Great flat course. Generous goody bag.
Speedy results and free photos! Superb.
Thank you to all and see you next year.

In short: LERC setting the standard in fine style!
In full: Change of course this year, but for the better. More park,less road,fewer long straight hauls, but still keeping it's PB potential, as this is a flat course. As always at LERC, an excellent prize structure for this race, making for good competition at the top of the field. For those further down, the marshalls had bags of enthusiasm...even unexpected rain did not dampen spirits...Cheerleaders at the start, cow-bell ringeres on the way round (could catch on!)...and a mug, t-shirt & goody bag for their 25th anniversary at the finish. Splendid indeed!

In full: Many thanks to the Organisers & Marshalls. Excellent organisation from start to finish.
Almost didn't attend but am incredibly glad that we did. Friendly atmosphere. The course wasn't inspiring but the Marshalls, atmosphere & friendliness of all involved more than compensated. Overall 10 out of 10. Many thanks for a lovely day. Ken & Chantal
