In short: Excellent race, friendly and well organised!
In full: Lovely race, great organisation and hills were all quite short so not as bad as reported. Nice and scenic and hardly any traffic. Loads of marshalls all really friendly and supportive, nice goody bag at the finish. First time I've run this race and will definitely be back next year!

In short: Well-organised race
In full: I've done about 4 different race venues now and I think that this was a well-organised race. The hills were challenging but the downhills were welcome. I liked the cereal bar in the goodie bag and was glad for the bottle of water.
