In short: Rain, hills and a cracking run!
In full: Really good and a trophy mug at the finish was different and a nice touch, pitty about the rain ruined time sheets that stopped the complete results being posted.

In short: Wet, challenging, wet, fun ... did I mention WET?!
In full: Really enjoyable race again, but no accurate idea of my time - couldn't see an actual start line, and technical problems means I've no official time either. Once again the km markers were all over the place - my fastest was 2:18! I'm not that good! Huge thanks to all the marshalls standing out in that weather.

In short: A good event but still spoilt by organisational weaknesses
In full: This event has so much potential: a varied route through woods, parkland, roads and villages, with some tough hills thrown in, and an enthusiastic entry despite the foul weather on the day. And yet - the start was again a mess, with no PA/tannoy to inform entrants where to line up, or when the race was started; again, no warnings about speed bumps or potholes in the hospital grounds; somewhat chaotic finish funnel, with some people wandering out of position before the marshals had noted them; and still no web results, almost 2 weeks after the event. So come on guys, with a bit more effort this event could be really good!

In full: Great run will definately do it again.

In short: Hills to make your eyes water & legs hurt!!!
In full: Tipping down with rain throughout but at least the marshalls kept smiling...
A lovely scenic course, although very pushy at the start, well worth running.
This was my first Frenchay run but I will be back again next year. Nice mug for finishing too.

In short: Curse that hill!
In full: A brilliant run. I'm already looking forward to next year & kicking Blackberry Hill booty! Blinking hill got me this year.
