In short: Gosh it was chilly!
In full: A good way to end a good year of running for me.
Nice to see some familiar faces, though some are looking as old as me now (if not older!)
Due to other commitments I've had to miss this race for the past 6 years. Good to see that it hasn't changed a bit! Well done to everyone today!
Happy New Year for 2013!

In short: positive start to the year ahead
In full: Great 5 mile race on flat course, only challenge is the weather and the excesses of Christmas! Good way to start the year. Well organised and marshalled, generous gifts afterwards. Retreat to the nearly club for refreshments and presentations.

In short: Another good race to end a good year
In full: Really good run this.
Serious without being eliteist as well which I think helps bring in new "Oldtimers" who may not normally race.
Once again the organisation and marshalling was top notch, good to see so many old faces!
See you all next year!!!
Have a great 2007!!
