In short: Once again. Cransley Hospice gives local runners a chance ot contribute to this excellent charity.
In full: I have run this race every year since its inception. Because it supports a well loved and valued local charity it is very popular with " fun runners" and I don't use that term disparagingly.

The one improvement that I would like to see is an effort to organise the start better. Runners do not always line up with a regard to their finishing time. Groups of slower runners are further forward than they should be. It is a narrow start and it often takes some time for the race to sort out.
