In short: Excellent course, mainly off road along the River Severn and the road part is quiet country lanes. Much better this year as the long grass had been cut. Only fault - sticky numbers came unstuck; mine blew off into a field somewhere!

In short: Really good atmosphere and great scenery
In full: A lovely race through pretty countryside, with really encouraging crowds along the whole route. great atmosphere at the start and finish with good facilities but no medal or goody bag! Still good value though and would definitely do again next year...and be more prepared for the hill at the end.

In short: 'Small village' atmosphere, family friendly. Lovely route, ~75% light trail with river views and a charming churchyard. Last 2-2.5km quite challenging/hilly. Well organised and controlled; slight problem with numbers failing to stick; not chip timed.

In short: Friendly, well marshalled, no hassle, lovely countryside.
In full: A great local race in lovely countryside. Encouraging marshalls all the way and a welcome crowd at the finish. Well organised with no queues anywhere. Personally I wouldn't bother with the certificates - more hassle for you!
