In short: Hills are good for us. Aren't they?!!
In full: A nice race, well organised, with great marshalling. Yeah the hills are tough, the 6-7 mile stretch is challenging, but it is downhill after that; character building I think!! Thanks.

In short: Great Race a deffinate yes for next year
In full: First time on this one and found it a good one for the legs. The 6 mile hill was a sure leg warmer. I have to say thanks for the Jelly Babies on route and overall great atmosphere. Recommended to all to give this a go next year. Thanks to all.

In short: A good challenging hilly race!
In full: A nice scenic route with plenty of undulations. Some quite hard uphill sections especially at 6 miles, but everything evens itself out with the last 2 miles or so being downhill.

In short: Challenging hills for a beginner
In full: It's really hard going to races when you are unafilliated to a running club and on your own. However I found this race to be really friendly and regardless of the running vest being warn everyone was really chatty. As for the race itself, I had heard whispers of a challenging hill at mile 6 and yep I found it! Actually I personally thought right up to mile 7 it was mostly uphill! But I really enjoyed it. The organisation was excellent with plenty of encouraging marshalls and cheering volunteers on the way. Left with a nice little memento and tired legs but with a big smile on my face! Thankyou to the organisers and volunteers.
