In short: Well organised, well marshalled, good cakes!
In full: Well organised and well marshalled. A good course with a loop around the lovely Lacock. A reasonably quick course but with a couple of moderate climbs. Good atmosphere. Given the price a memento would be nice.

In short: good flat course. ideal for beginner doing a longer run. No medal!!
In full: good flatish course. Nice race for those working up to half marathon distance. Well organised and well marshalled. Popularity of race was such that lots of cars down country roads wanting a look and getting in way.Also too local farmers were keen to bring their tractors and trailers out and i was nearly hit twice or was that garotted! Dont get me wrong though great route to and around Reybridge/Lacock and back to Melksham. Definitely do again, BUT WHERE IS THE GOODY BAG & MEDAL YOU TIGHT G$%'s!!

In full: Very scenic route around the lanes of Wiltshire. Set a PB, which was fantastic. Only downside was no goody back which would have been nice for the price paid

In short: Good organisation and route
In full: A new race for me and I ran a PB! Very well organised, friendly and efficient.
Should have learned the course route better though. Got very confused when at 6 or 7 miles met a load of runners coming the other way. Convinced myself that there must be another race going on locally. It dawned on me a mile later that we were running back on the same outward bound road. It dawned on me an hour later that those runners had been in the same race as me ... doh!!

In short: Well organised and enjoyable run
In full: First 10 mile race in a long time and really enjoyed it. The course isn't too challenging with only a couple of short climbs so should appeal to anyone hoping to get a PB.
Was a little disappointed that there are no medals or other momento but I guess that was to keep the price down a little?
Would definately run this race again and it's a great training run for the London Marathon.
