In short: Great locations, nice flat run, the start is a bit squashed though
In full: Need to work out the organisation, car parking was a struggle and then collecting your number and badge took time and then too few toilets. Great race but the organisation isn't brilliant

In short: Really lovely route, well-organised and friendly.
In full: Ran this with a torn calf muscle because it was too lovely not to and being so flat made it possible to jog gently all the way round. A great race for a worthwhile charity.Time to do birdwatching too. Friendly and supportive marshalls.

In full: Last did this in 2009 as it has been clashing with RHM lately. Lovely run and usual fab PP organisation. Oh and a course PB by 14 mins! :-)
