In short: Fab race worth signing up for every year.
In full: Really well organised - Starts with the efficient car park stewarding, followed by timely start and enthusiatic course marshalling, finishing with a friendly atmosphere.
Great way to start the running calendar year - I'll be back next year, again!

In short: Second year doing this race and better knowing when the tough sections are coming
In full: A really enjoyable race to get you back into the rhythm if you have indulged at christmas. Found it easier this year, particularly as I knew it was fairly easy for the second part of the race. Great stewarding again. Many thanks Stratford AC

In short: Near perfect conditions, great course with a fast finish, extensive prize list - I got a PB, plus 2nd place in the team comp. What more could you ask? Shame the womens race got messed up by a man running as a woman. Who'd be a race organiser?a
