In short: Good race out in the country instead of race in built up areas..
In full: If you want results for this race go to RSCAC (Royal Sutton Coldfield AC) and the results can be found on the home page.

In full: Can anyone post a copy of the results. Have scanned internet, but nothing again. This seems to be a problem year after year.
A good local race but never any results available on-line.

In short: Need to sort out Fun Run from the Main Race and presentation
In full: This is a good race, in a freindly environment, although had to wait ages in the rain for presentation and results. Good prizes and nive course, although they set the fun run off behind the main race and some of the young lads got mixed up and ended up doing the 5 mile instead of the 2 mile as planned. Although they did quite well. Couple of improvements for next year organisers but overall enjoyed it.

In short: Good race on quiet lanes
In full: This was my second attempt, and the organisation was much better this time (not that it was very bad last time).
Good atmosphere and plenty of marshals (thank you all) shouting encouragement. Well organised parking before the start. Best of all, this year blessed with glorious weather.

In short: A very enjoyable friendly race
In full: Really enjoyed the race - the course is mildly undulating but quick, and the out and back route means that you know whats coming on the way back! The route was traffic free and quite sceneic around the country lanes. Everyone involved were really friendly and i'll be there again next year!
