In short: Decent event but could be improved
In full: Bottled water would have been nice rather than only cups at the water stations. I would happily pay a little extra if the event were chip timed, considering it is a championship race I was surprised it wasn't. The start was poor as I heard no instructions, people just started running.

In short: Excellent organisation. Few spectators on undulatiing route exposed to elements in places.
In full: All the previous comments re. good organisation, clubhouse, hot showers apply. V few spectators, but wretched weather for standing around. Marshals very encouraging. Only gripe - ended up with (very) XL T-shirt as rest gone. If your memento is size-dependent you can't disappoint in this way.

In short: Very well organised race on a good course
In full: Started with excellant directions in the race info. Ample car parking near to start and finish. Good course - mildly undulating and scenic through country lanes. Very well marshalled. Great to finish right next to the clubhouse and the hot showers were very welcome on a wet, cold day especially as i had a 2hr drive home. 'Free' sarny was a nice touch. Great atmosphere in the clubhouse after the finish. With a small field of under 400 runners this had the feel of a club runners event but very welcoming for beginners as well.

In full: An excellently organised race. Tough as there are few spectators out on the course but the route is interesting and support at finish is great.

In full: This is a really friendly local race, well organised by Droitwich AC. They are really good at keeping in touch, doing the simple things well and providing for a range of people. Please keep it the same, I'll be back for the third time next year...

In short: Again, a fine job by Droitwich AC! My second Droitwich and will return again next year. Only slight niggle would be one or two more water stations. Very scenic and very little hassle from traffic. Well done!

In short: A really enjoyable race and knocked 6 mins off my PB!
In full: Nice route, limited undulations, really enjoyed it.
The "free" lunch was a great touch!
More of a club-feel than other races I have previously entered, so not quite as much banter.
Will definitely be back next year - thanks and well done to all who helped organize.
