In short: Excellent Local Race
In full: Very friendly Local Race. It's really nice to see so many youngster's competing, although a bit off putting when they go racing by!
The organisation is very good and it was well marshaled. The only request I have is can the Tee Shirts be in different sizes? The 'L' I received is enormous on me :-( Will definitely be back next year.

In short: Village pub race HQ, small, well-organised and plenty of marshalls, plus BBQ and a jazz band. What more does a bank holiday race need!

In full: Very good, well organised local race. It was really good to have youngster's taking part, and I was amazed at the speed of some of them! There was a very friendly atmosphere and it was a good way to spend a Bank Holiday morning. Would definitely recommend.

In short: Fun, friendly, well-organised. Hilly in parts, sure, but PB guaranteed for all first timers given the unusual distance. Great to see a mixture of runners of all types taking part, including (fast!) children. Thanks!

In short: Lovely short scenic race
In full: I really enjoyed this local race last year & look forward to running it again this year. The organisation was good, and really nice to have locals stepping out form their homes & cheering everyone on. A few mild undulations but short enough to not worry about. Good t-shirt, & bacon butties & pub at the end excellant.
