In short: Great day and a great cause
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed myself at this event. Ran round twice as a training run before helping out as best I could at the start/finish.

Many thanks to all those who enjoyed the light hearted stuff at the start.
I do what I can with the (little) talent I have

In short: Fast, flat course - PB a definite possibilty
In full: My first race of the New Year -very enjoyable and it was all for a good cause. A good mix of types and abilities. Comedy announcements by the starter put everyone in a great mood at the start.

In short: Good charity cause worth supporting.. nice atmosphere... well organised
In full: Welcoming, a varied course -a few hills, nice run along river (would be idyllic in summer)- friendly pub as the base - nice friendly atmosphere. Good support and marshals. Thanks all!

In short: Great route. Excellent race. Fees go to the charity so "good value".
In full: A few inclines otherwise virtually flat through some great scenery considering this was Preston! Great comedy at start ("if you find your feet are wet then you are in the River Ribble"). Good atmosphere and a pub as well! Did I run past the great Ron Hill?

In full: Extra marks for Mr Porter's comedy announcements and for having a pub at the finish! Not really "multi-terrain" but none the worse for it!
