In short: Great race for both beginners and more experienced runners
In full: A most enjoyable race - a bit of road but plenty of cross country. Beautiful scenery on a lovely sunny day. Very friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it for both beginners and experienced runners.

In short: Nice route along the river and through the churchyard.
In full: New route announced on the day held a few surprises. I'd been looking forward to the climb up the hill from Deerhurst as a chance to move up through the places (bit like Alberto Contador) so disappointed to see it had been taken out. Relieved to find that after all it still included some hilly bits which allowed for a bit of overtaking. Great atmosphere at the finish with a great crowd and good burgers. Took 3 minutes off my previous best at Apperley, so happy with that. Would just suggest that the website is updated for next time as all the info wad out of date. Will definitely be back though.
