In short: done this race several times I think the hill at 5 miles gets longer can we have the wind tunnel turned off next year and the heaters on and the hill after 10miles 'the graveyard' this either makes or breaks your run but as the man said I'll be back

In short: that last climb !
In full: ok I shouldnt have done a 10k X Country the day before in a too quick time ! I flew until mile 9 and then died a thousand deaths and lost around 20 places in the last 400 meters with an empty tank !...be back again next year : )

In short: Some great views with a few hills, but none of them too nasty. Can't help the weather!
In full: Lots of marshalls doing their best with the traffic, many looking absolutely frozen. A fair amount of traffic for my liking though at times. Friendly field, very welcoming and a nice treat of a bottle at the end.

In short: Definatly pb material. Some problems with marshels not covering all side roads, saw one person nearly knocked over. That aside a good race, well organised.

In short: After struggling with a dodgy foot for the last fortnight, managed to break my pb by 7 minutes, despite the challenging hills. Definitely worth the trip for someone who runs 99% of the time on pancake-flat roads, and wants to learn to conquer hills.

In short: Well worth the trip. Can't wait till next year.
In full: The weather wasn't up to much, but this was more than made up for by the race itself.
I would just like to take a moment to say how well marshalled I thought this course was - well done.

In short: Very hilly - marshalling excellent
