In short: Excellent race, brilliant organisation, great marshals, slightly undulating, very friendly,, great race will be back next year
In full: Superb race, well organised and marshalled, undulating course which made it more interesting, would have been fast apart from the wind, great friendly atmosphere, particularly grateful to marshal who gave me a drink in the last few miles when I was struggling. Will be back next year to improve me time. Brilliant race, thank you!!!

In short: Great organisation
In full: Excellent race, well organised and marshalled, parking a little bit of a pain but the taxi service back was nearly instant. I am coming back from injury so didn't run that well but an excellent test for London in the rolling East Anglian countryside, roll on the Stamford 30K!

In short: Windy but fun
In full: A great event with several testing hills, well organised with a great t-shirt and fantastic bacon rolls at the end! Could have done with an extra water station on the first lap but never mind - i'll be back.
