In short: Great race in the country
In full: Great race in lovely surroundings.Pretty nasty hill near the end but after Arundel that will seem flat!.

In short: Very undulating with challenging hill in the last Km but very good fun as my first race.

In short: Overall a well-organised race with some hard hills.
In full: A little tricky for the marshalls as the car park exit is right on the finish line. Guess they've had to do the best they can with the location!

In short: Great course, shame about the car parking.
In full: If you got there early registration was fine and you could park near the exit (an unexpected bonus at the end!). Thought the online map to get there was good. What on earth possessed them to hang a metal girder in the air above the finish!

In short: Really pretty, and a great challenge
In full: It was a lovely course, with the carpets of bluebells through thte woods. It was narrow in points, leading to some frustration when people couldn't pass others or when people stopped to walk in the middle of the path!! Getting out of the car park at the end was a fiasco, as the finish line crossed the exit, which was daft, but the run itself was totally amazing, and great value for money. I would easily do it again.

In short: loved it, great scenery, good to run in the countryside. Do train for hills beforehand though!
In full: I thoroughly enjoyed this race, for the location, the weather, the bluebells, and the fact that, having made the effot to do hillwork in the previous weeks, I was very proud to be able to run through all of them!
(they're not that tough anyway.)
