In short: Second year running - another great PB!
In full: Hotter than last year, but a much better PB so I was very happy afterwards!
This would be a great 1st half race. Well organised, flat and friendly.

In short: Well organised, great marshalls, lots of water stops, flat, good atmosphere
In full: Really well organised race, flat course makes for fast potential time but miles of running into the wind can be tough.

In short: Nice course, good event
In full: A really pleasant run through some scenic countryside. A quick course with pb potential - was on course for a pb until turning into the wind at mile 7, which slowed me down somewhat.

In short: A well organised race in the Cambridgeshire countryside
In full: A flat course with the potential to be fast but long exposed sections into the wind can make it hard going. Very well organised with friendly efficient marshals and good facilities.

In short: A Flat PB course!
In full: I loved this race as it was a significant improvement in my PB. I kept having to pinch myself as I was running around so quickly! It was a warm day but there were plenty of water stations and the marshals were vocal and friendly. Will definitely do it again!

In short: Flat, friendly, fenland run
In full: The vast majority of the race is on quiet fenland roads with pleasant views compensating for lack of atmosphere. Exposed to wind. Good support when passing through the village. Excellent, stress-free organisation. Medal but no goody bag which is reflected in the reasonable entry fee. All round very good!

In short: well organised and marshalled,most memorable
In full: enjoyable,shame about the wind,think that took me short of a pb,plenty of drink/refreshment tables ,thought the beer at 1 mile was a touch early.
