In short: Excellent race as always!
In full: My second year of competing in this race and having marshalled it back in 2008 as well, I can say with confidence that it just keeps getting better and better! Well done to the club for fantastic organisation and the marshalls for doing a wonderful job again. A great race on a reasonably flat course, and a great morning out for the family too with such a 'carnival' atmosphere at the HQ.

In short: Quality Short Race.
In full: Well organised, good venue, very well marshalled - closure of start / finish roads and around the marker to mile 3 makes it very safe for runners.
The course is flat to mildly undulating so good for the speed freaks.
For £10 it is very generous - a technical t-shirt and a goody bag with 3 drinks and 2 snacks.
And there's gun to finish chip timing as well.

In short: Well organised, fast course, well marshalled, friendly atmosphere and quick presentation
In full: Generally very positive - well organised, fast course and really enojoyable. Only three things to improve to make it perfect - the start was a bit confusing (no gun or whistle), the entrance to the field at the end is quite uneven and slows you down and there was no clock at the finish. Will definitely be back next year.

In short: Great event, well organised, brilliant goody bag and t-shirt
In full: Great, friendly event - gets better every year. Love the technical T-shirt - great to get one that fits. Fast, relatively traffic free route. Well marshalled. Good goodie bag. Nice hot showers and fab cake stall. Good to have chip timing and b e able to see the results very quickly at the end. Overall, a great event!
