In short: Bargain, Friendly & well Marshalled
In full: Excellent course which was superbly marshalled. Good couple of long slog but very do-able hills. T-Shirt, Photo & free entry to the gardens for a nice walk/warm down. 1st time I have not queued for toilets at an event (I've done 40+) A couple of participants unnecessarily moaning about photo delay. Please take into account a) they were included in the very reasonable entry fee b) problems are inevitable c) They did say pop an SAE in the post & the photos would be forwarded. Well done all involved

In short: Great Race, great organisation
In full: I did this race last year on its first year and it was great then. It appeared to run like clockwork. The marshalls were great despite having to stand around in the freezing cold and odd snow shower. It is a challenging route but a great one, makes you feel like you have actually achieved something when you finish.

Great to hear your name called out as you finished. Marshalls were brilliant. Special thanks to the guy with the jelly babies!
