In short: A great race well worth the journey down from Birmingham
In full: A really freindly race great atmosphere lots of cheering from all the marshalls & passes by, thanks for all the water stations as it was a very warm day, the start & finish area was very well organised not like some bigger events I`ve done, well done Sharron for that PB 1:15:02, see you all again next year.

In short: Great atmosphere - very family friendly
In full: First race since FLM - took 9 minutes off my PB too. Easy for family to see you at 4 or 5 points en route too. Some lomg inclines, but nothing too awful. Would probably have been quicker but tired in last 2 miles - still winding back up after FLM though.. ;-)

In short: Well organised and mostly flat so definite PB potential on a cloudy day. Only let down is the 11am start time which is a bit late when heat will always be an issue in mid-May.......
