In short: Great charity race
In full: A very good race, course well thought out, a few short sharp inclines, but otherwise flat. nice mug as a memento, and also its for charity, so it give you no excuse not to do it. Well worth the hours drive.

In short: Pretty good race all in all. Great cause.
In full: Great weather. Well marshalled course. Not many bottlenecks which made the going quite quick. Slight criticisms are that it could have done with some more toilets at the start and I'm not a big fan of mugs as mementos.

In short: Fantastic organisation and marshalling just like last year, perfect weather for the race too. It might be worth investing in a megaphone for the start next year though!! Thanks a lot to all who turned up to support and I'll definitely be there nex!

In short: Well organised and for a good cause
In full: It's the third time I have done this race and I managed to get myself a PB today. Due to the rain the night before it was muddier than normal but that makes it more fun in my opinion. I always like to do this because it's local and for a good cause.

In short: Good first race of the year
In full: I'd run this one the summer before last, the January version was a lot muddier! I'd forgotten about the hills, but mostly just a slow slog. Good atmosphere, well organised and I'll be taking my souvenir mug to work tomorrow.

In short: perfect day for a pb!
In full: This is the 2nd time I have done this race, did it in the summer and enjoyed it so much I was back to try it again. Was just as well organised and marshalled as last time. Managed to do it in 58mins47ish after hoping to crack 1hr, so very pleased. Cant fault this race and will be back in the summer.
Nice to know the money goes to a worthy cause too.
