In short: Splashy speedy outing
In full: Great course, and modest numbers allow you to get straight into the race even if you start in the back half. Some of the best marshalling I've encountered. Lack of directional signs to venue a big mistake, especially on a wet day with an early start.

In short: a fast course - i got a pb! but there is a hilly mile coming out of lacock. Bit expensive but worth it for a pb. Needs signposts from the main car parks in melksham-i thought i'd miss the start!

In short: Nice introduction to a 10 mile race for a first timer.
In full: Despite the wet and windy weather the marshalls were very cheery, well placed on a well marked out course. Only criticism was lack of directional signs as to where the event was upon entering Melksham.

In short: Bring your wellies.
In full: Despite the bad weather and surface water the course is very fast just missed out on a distance PB by 9 seconds cant fault the marshal's standing on the corners in the driving rain they certainly earned a hot cuppa, did noticed in the results that two runners were disqualified and i guess for using music players of some sort they were told and signs were around that this would happen if caught this is the first race that I have been in that this as happened.
