In short: Well organised, friendly marshalls and runners. A challenging new course to contend with. I'll be back next year.

In short: What goes up, must come down.....
In full: Straight into a steepish hill made me start to wish I'd stayed in but after the first mile the course flattened out. The whole atmosphere was great, really friendly people and fab marshalls.
The goody bag was one of the best ever, with a very reasonable entry fee this is a lovely local race.
Even the rain at the end didn't dampen our adrenaline!

In short: Nice rice with good organisation. Back next year I think.
In full: There was a bit more hilliness than I expected, which slowed mile 4 down, but allowed me to pick up mile 5 as the fastest mile of the race.
Really friendly marshalls and good organisation. Thank you.
