In full: Excellent facilities at the end of the course (enjoyed the bar)! Friendly marshalls and organsiers which made it easier for a novice. Would definitely run again and it has encouraged me to up my training to do the 20mile!

In short: Nice little event
In full: Good location, very scenic and flat. The corse was nicely sign posted, with a good amount of marshalls and drinks stations. Chip timing too, which is always helpfull for accurate times and a nice goodie bag at the finish. Suits most, with 10 and 20 miles.

In short: Great effort for a 1st time event with great marshals.
In full: Fast course, good feed stations, friendly marshals with support from first to last, nice location, good facilities - showers too, often a luxury after a long run. Will be back.

In short: Good potential
In full: First running of the race and we were warned to expect a few glitches. Start was 25mins late and I measured it at 19.83 on my Garmin (never measured a course short before) but not something I was worried about.
If certified and moved a week or two further away from London (assuming that most runners here were targeting that) it has serious potential as a PB course.
I'll definitely do it again if it fits in with my plans.
Very friendly organisers!

In short: good pre london event
In full: great idea for a pre spring marathon event pity it clashed with the two half marathons nearby cos im sure the numbers would have been better. As the years go by im sure word will get round about its value for money perhaps maybe next year not the day after the clocks go forward. Marshalls and other runners friendly though and they were happy to wait for us slower ones who needed to get the mileage in well done hope its on again next year
