In short: Flat and wind permitting a definate PB course.
In full: A race worth doing again, well organised and ran to time. Very clear instructions on starting and finishing and well marshalled throughout. A lap of the stadium track to start and finish add an extra special touch.
A tadge on the expensive side for a 5 mile; but then the race supports the British Legion - maybe more publicity regarding the support this race provides to the Legion would help explain the apparent high entry fee.
Great race and aim to return next year.

In short: Good chance of a PB, nice stadium start finish. Easy to get to on the edge of the town.
In full: Overall a good race to do with good chance of a PB and fairly well organised. Only criticism is the junior races, too costly and short. My little Brendon Foster ran 2 miles week before so 80 meters didn't interest him.

In full: My first race after 2 months on the treadmill and loss of 2 stone from my weight. The course was flat which helped me. The organisation was first class, well signed and very friendly marshalls. Nice to get a gift at the end for my efforts!
