In short: interesting course - mix of on & off road, bit narrow at times though, a good mix of abilities

In short: Nice race, well orgainsed and marshalled. Momento a bit disappointing, much prefer the mug we've got previously. Knocked 4 mins off PB!

In short: Well organised, excellently marshalled but not a fast or scenic course
In full: Good venue,plus organisation and marshalling were faultless.The weather made the course appear a bit more tricky (some mud/ tight turns), but the undulations were fairly mild.However its the first race I`ve done for a while where there was absolutely no banter within the pack-I was with a 38/39 minute group (hardly likely prize winners)and it was all a bit po-faced, even the snorkel wearing marshal was ignored...lighten up a bit guys.

In short: Plentiful and encouraging marshalls, v.little traffic, fab course (start & end in stadium) with a few undultions, perfect sunday morning race. Small enough to be cosy but enough of a mix of club:non-club runners

In short: Very nice race
In full: Very well organised, nice route and mix of terrain, hills etc, great marshalls (that deserve praise for standing in the rain and still smiling and cheering), nice momento at the end and nice to finish in the stadium. Great run, well done to all. One I would do again..
