In short: Lovely scenic and challenging route - excellent organisation.
In full: Brilliant organisation. Especially liked the PA system with names called out. Very friendly and efficient marshalls. Challenging "Devon style" hills and beautiful views. No queuing for loos, goody bags etc and a free ticket into the gardens -brilliant day out and a good T shirt too!

In short: Fantastic race, great organisation, One for the calender.
In full: The organisation was great from the moment you arrived. You knew where the start and finish was(not always obvious at other events) Fantastic Marshalls, didn't even have to queue for the loos. Great for spectators to with the cafe there and the runners coming back to the start at 3 miles. Hills very challenging and I wish I had taken more notice of the views at the top of them. Great to have a free photo at the finish, nice touch. No queues for the goody bag either. Well done to all involved.
