In short: Very scenic and briliant finish - but plenty of hills ..
In full: Very well organised and extremely scenic. Very good for spectators and a great finish down the drive towards the big house at the bottom. A good range of challenging hills - especially as you know that the first one comes up again just before the end !! But a great run into the finish. Well organised and a lovely medal at the end ... and not a Lion in sight to snack on the stragglers ....

In full: My first time of doing this race, well organised but no pa at the start of the race. I made it 6.4 miles though my GPS ws spot on with the markers that i seen along the way, so the end of the course leading down towards Longleat House was .3 miles extra!! And those hills, what a challenge!!! Good though hopefully do it again next year.

In short: Terrific setting, quite tough but rewarding course, grandstand finish!
In full: First time at this race and I really enjoyed it. Great setting, 'big event' feel to the race and impeccable organisation. Excellent for spectators too - my kids were able to see me 4 times during the race, without moving much. The hills are steady but quite long (2 x 1.5k and 1 x 0.5k) so yes a PB would be tough, but what goes up must come down and I still managed my 3rd best time. Good medal and practical goody bag (water, milkshake, energy drinks and gels). Thoroughly recommend.

In short: Hilly
In full: Excellent venue.
Slightly delayed start could have benefitted from more announcements (the 'runners village' area was excellent for this though, as was the finish).
Mile markers were an odd choice and difficult to spot for people in the main body of runners.
Challenge of the course seemed to be welcomed by most and the finish towards the grand house was very impressive.
