In short: A pleasant day out
In full: Well organised race, with chip timing - and not being given a white cotton T-shirt as a memento is always a bonus - the maroon rugby shirt was appreciated. Only negative comment is that for the price of the race I would have expected bottled water.

In short: Great race, challenging but Bedford Harriers run it like clockwork
In full: Amazing amount of marshalls, all of which were encouraging (which is different!) which helped you around the hilly course.
Nice rugby top at the end however the red colour runs and I now have pink colours on the shirt!

In full: Congratualations to Bedford Harriers for organising a brilliant race! First time so dont know how bad the transport was last year but the buses were perfect. Very cold start but we got there early and didnt have any of the chip collection issues others seemed to have.
Only 2nd time raced the distance but despite hills managed to take 7 mins of PB, loved the downhill towards the finish.
Special mention to the marshalls who were all brilliant - ty.
Also well done to the guys dressed as Santa at least you would have been warm!
Be back next year!!
