In short: Fast Five on a Good Course
In full: A very good event as always, nearly a PB just the wind in the last mile, shame it always turns-up for this race! Will be back next year

In short: A good fast course for runners of all abilities
In full: This is a popular event, & the breezy conditions seem to come out to greet us each year. Our newbe club folk really enjoyed the day which was good to see. My one point of note is for the organisers to please check the mile markers are in the right places. Running a pleasing sub thirty, I know that I didn't run mile differentials of a minute!

In short: Rocket fast course for those Hunting P.B's
In full: An international field, a near-perfectly flat route, a super quick finish. If you want to get a P.B. over 5 miles, this is your race. Only minus point: water station at the finish did not have enough water and had a massive wait to get a drink. Would have expected more (especially as this race has a 1000+ entry limit).

In short: Dont come for the scenery, come for the quick course !
In full: Same as last year, the scenery is unspectacular but the course is quick. There was a headwind for the last mile but still a great course.
