In short: Enjoyable race
In full: Another good race and another PB, though I don't do that many 7.2k races. Looking forward to next year, must try harder to beat Sonia O'Sullivan!

In short: One of the best running events anywhere
In full: Probably the only place on the planet where Charles and Diana's nuptials are still celebrates - a fantastic event, wonderful atmosphere all supervised by "Father Onn" - a man of the cloth who mixes a dog collar with running shorts, sandals and stripey socks.

In short: 4 on the trot
In full: My fourth year doing this and I still hold it as one of my favourite runs. It's unique in distance, unusual in it's chosen day and start time but has all the trappings of a friendly, fun and even furious race.
As long as I can do I'll be doing this year on year.

In short: What? No rain?
In full: At last, a summer's evening running! A great event and well worth returning to. Offspring, traffic and parking problems meant arriving 10 minutes before the start - so unprepared, not hydrated, not focused - no surprise I had a dog of a run. Thanks to the marshal at 5K for his water. Thoroughly enjoyable evening and will be back.
