In full: I'll pre-enter next year.

In short: I am the runner with the pram: This is the only way I can compete, as both parents are runners. I always start at the back, and give way when required. All the way around I received encouragement & support. I have nothing to prove, do you?

In short: As a member of the race organisation I can only say that I hoped everyone enjoyed the race despite the few hitches due solely to the large number of people entering on the day,we had double last years entry!!As for cars we can't close roads

In short: Cracking turn-out for quite a small race
In full: This is my local race so my views are some what biased, but for a fairly low-key event the organisation is spot on, the course is scenic/quick, the atmosphere is cheery, the cakes on sale after were scrumptious, the waterbottle prize was nice and I reckon the other 349 people (record turnout) in the race had fun too!

In short: Great course for a PB!
In full: Lovely flat race, two minor hills over M5. Shame about lack of toilets, there are enough things to worry about at the start of a race!

In short: PB opportunity
In full: Pleasant scenary,fast course for a PB.Well marshalled on the course but no finding the start.Delayed start and standing at the back of the field did not hear the start of the race.Nice touch with the coffee and cakes at the beginning.No water at the end as mentioned.Yes they did have a large field but had enough time after the start to orgainise extra water.Water bottle will come in handy.Thanks
