In short: Enjoyable except for the cars
In full: Enjoyed the run and actually did a PB despite the hills. Got annoyed with the cars and found myself breathing in petrol fumes at times but second half of course really nice

In short: Good race and results of bad weather well managed

In short: Fairly challenging but well organised and friendly
In full: Very friendly marshalls, first 1km is all uphill but after that pretty undulating. Token flood mid-course was a nice touch :-) Well organised, fairly challenging race. Will be back next year.

In short: A great Autumn run on rural roads without taxing hill climbs
In full: This was my second year running this course and achieved PB. The organisation was excellent and thanks for the pre-race warning about the flooded bridge. Traffic is always going to be an issue with this route, but the marshalls performed superbly and the locals seemed better informed. Good support all round the course. The goody bags were a marked improvement from last years t-shirt.
