In short: Fantastic
In full: Well done to the organisers, very slick, and what a great day we had. I got a PB too. This is my regular training course, and yes there are a few undulations but nothing too major. Liked the milkshake at the finish, perfect protein/carb recovery drink. Great to see Mick and Phil as well. Inspirational.

In short: Fab race for fab guys
In full: This was an absolutely great race. The almost three lap course is largely flat, although their is a distinctly lumpy section about half way round each lap which was gruelling on the third lap! Would make it more challenging for a beginner.

An absolute bargain with the added bonus of meeting the Curry family. A fantastic day.

In short: An enjoyable race
In full: An enjoyable event, well organised, with plenty of enthusiastic marshals and volunteers, plus on course support from Mick and Phil.
The route has a few undulations, but it is a very pleasant setting, enhanced by the fine weather this year.
Well done to all those involved in organising the race.

In short: Picture postcard course, a gret reason to run and some of the nicest people in the running community organise it out of the goodness of their hearts. Unique!
In full: The race ran like clockwork and it was incredible to see a volunteer only event go so well. The marshalls were great and smiled and clappd every runner. Weather great, superb course, amazing atmposphere. Took minutes of PB.

In short: V. Enjoyable
In full: Loops are a bit boring, but makes it better for family supporters. Disappointed had to collect water off table as marshals were talking first time around.
Overall a very good Day.
