In short: Still as hard as nails, but that's what makes it special
In full: Could not have wished for better weather this year. A well organised event, excellent post race food/drink and a nice course to run. Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Well done all round.

In short: great event- but never again!
In full: Another beautiful evening race, great route, well organised (although I wasn't too sure about the start on a well-used road) and I did enjoy the beer and roll at the end!
As ever thanks to all those who volunteered to put the race on (and made the rolls).
I must remember though, I hate hills. And there are two biggies (for me at least) which I found extremely painful.
Also, price (at £14 unattached) is a bit steep- I have not done the race before but I think from previous comments it used to be a bit better value.

In short: Great scenic course, not good for PB, more water stations needed
In full: This was the first time I have done Bugatti. The arrangements were a little strange, park your car, then walk 1 mile to Race HQ for toilets, then walk back from where you came to the start line! Already done 3km before starting!
Good organisation overall, plenty of marshalls and very friendly race. Liked the beer and sandwich at the finish line.
Quite a tough course but very scenic, hilly in places, all on road.
One significant improvement would have been more water stations. 1st and only water station was 6km in, on one of hottest nights of the year I was really flagging at one point due to the heat.
Overall liked it and would definitely do it again.

In full: Good local community race to suit all abilities

In full: My first go at this race, but I had a good idea it wasn't going to be easy! Can't knock the facilities or organisation from Chelt Harriers and volunteers. Tough climbs after 4K but adds to the challenge:-).

In short: One of my all time favourite races. I love the course, the field is fast but friendly.
In full: I love this race. It's my third attempt, and the first where I've been healthy enough to race it properly. The quick start is offset by the long drag just before half way. But, what goes up must come down, and you can really pick up the speed on the descent. The beer, burger, and t-shirt are all worth the queues. Thanks again, Cheltenham & Co. Harriers! See you next year!

In short: It's called bugatti beer race, it say's it all!!!!
In full: £8 quid entry for beer, burger & T-shirt it's a no brainer really. Great atmosphere, high % of club runners, but all standards catered for on this challenging 10k course.
