In short: A well organised 12K - the perfect start to your race season
In full: My only negative was the diary at the finish, which I recycled! Other than that, it was well organised, well marshalled and very enjoyable. The toilets, were a walk from the start, which wasn't a real problem and was advertised in advance. The start itself was along a narrow road, again no real issues, but there was a bit of pushing. Good route though with a good hill at the half-way'ish point. The markers on the course were spot on and the finish count down started 800 meters out, so made for a good sprint finish down the hill (which you had walked up to get to the start). Loads of free parking and a friendly atmosphere made for a race that I will definitely be entering next year.

In short: Overall organisation was fantastic. I'll be back next year!
In full: Although I appreciated the diary which my daughter claimed, would be great to have instead received a small goody bag with energy drink and energy bar. The organisation, marshalls, distance markers, etc were all absolutely perfect.

In short: Excellent again! Organisation superb
In full: Destined to be an ever present event on my calendar. Agree that the slower runners should be encouraged to begin further down the field as the start is relatively narrow.
