In short: Well organised. Interesting course, great value.
In full: Easy to park. Changing & toilets (no showers). No check in for bags but village hall was manned at all times. Great course. Very well organised and great value including a quality T shirt. Refreshments - I had tea, ham roll and fruit cake all for £1.30, fantastic!!! Great event would def do it again. Was very sore after but that's not their fault! ;-)

In short: No hassle 20 miles, low key but well organised. A clock at the finish would be good for those of us who don't have fancy watches!

In short: Good organisation throughout. Fantastic course. Great timing for a spring marathon. Sparse support on a rural course by what there was was first class (especially the guy who kept turning up here, there and everywhere!).

In short: Seamless organisation. Good course (except for odd idiot driver ignoring race warning signs)
In full: Enjoyed walk to HQ from race finish for warming down. Scenic course with enough bends and undulations to make the route interesting. Friendly and helpful marshalls.

In short: All aspects fully organised. Excellent
In full: Post-race, the tea queue took a little while, and traffic seemed a little stressful for early leavers. Prize giver could use a microphone.
These being the only minor niggles, it was a lovely occasion.

In short: Nice rural and mostly flat couse.
In full: Excellent all round. The only gripe being the distance from the finish line back to race HQ. Did the 10 earlier in the year over the same(ish) course and will do both again. Well done Gloucester AC
