In short: Excellent 8 miler
In full: Very well organised by Lliswerry Runners as last year. Fast course which is good for even pacing- managed to do all 8 miles within 4 secs of each other. Excellent tech t shirt. A very good race!

In short: Fast, flat, great value
In full: My first time at Lliswerry. I was impressed with the organisation, all very smooth, plenty of parking, short queue for ladies loo(!), well-marshalled. Pleased to find that after-race handouts consisted of water and a nice quality T shirt - none of the usual unwanted junk that comes with "goody" bags. Well done Lliswerry Runners!

In short: Excellent as always
In full: My fifth time doing this and it was the best yet. We arrived early due to possible problems registering on the day (there had been talk of it being full) but Lliswerry were well prepared and managed the extra numbers with ease. Weather was perfect and the marshals were plentiful and encouraging. It all ran like clockwork and the results were up that night. Well done Lliswerry, excellent job !

In full: Well organised sunday run. Fast flat course, with real PB potential ideally placed as a training run for spring Half/Marathon. I used it as a drop back run f the VLM. Only two critisisms if being really picky H2O in plastic cups not really helpful when running and although a lovely technical T shirt could we have XS for the ladies next year please. neither spoilt the run for me. I'll be back next year

In short: Great beginners run
In full: Using this as a time trial for VLM. Managed to pump in almost metronomic 8min miles.
The slow motion sprint finish was ambitious but enjoyable.

In full: Started/finished at the school, nice flat road race.
Marshalls every so often and water station at some point past the halfway mark.
Could not fault the organisation of run and a nice t-shirt for particpating. Would do again.

In full: This was my first time running Lliswerry 8 and I will definitely be back again next year! The event was extremely well organised. There were marshals all over the course warning of any hazards (speed bumps) or to make sure you didn't take any wrong turns!
