In short: Knocked almost 10 minutes off my PB
In full: The event was advertised as having changing facilities unfortunately they were not apparent and due to no fault of the Harriers the toilets were frozen. That said I ran with a club mate and we had hoped to knock 6 minutes off our PB on this two lap course. In the end she managed 11 minutes off her time and I was just under 10 minutes. Many of the marshalls were supportive and kept our spirits up. I will certainly be running this one again.

In short: Good PB potential
In full: Enjoyable race on outskirts of Peterborough. Rather winding route with small section along woodland footpath and several underpasses & bridges but still very quick pace possible. Well marshalled although start not clear and heard no announcements. No chip timing but soon over the line and most of my club managed PBs so smiles all round. Agree that a choccy bar or healthy bar at the end would have been welcomed. All in all a good morning and thanks to the Harriers for braving the arctic temperatures to ensure smooth running of this race. Will be back!

In short: Lovely course to set a PB!
In full: A very fast course with friendly marshalls. There are quite a lot of bollards en-route though, so watch where you run! Marshalls did shout out warnings at bollard-areas. Excellent value for money, although could have done with a nice choccy bar or some sort of food at the finish!
