In short: A fun race on a speedy course
In full: An enjoyable race despite the multiple laps in an empty motoring circuit. This is a definate pb course - almost flat and plenty of room. Everyone was supportive and a very friendly atmosphere.

In short: something a little different, well run and v friendly.
In full: Potentially a v nippy course if the wind stays away. Friendly crowd and running round the circuit is a lot more fun than it sounds.

In short: Good fast traffic free course
In full: The course should be a fast one, but I like another reviewer ran according to my Garmin aiming for a sub 42. I ran very evenly and passed 10K on the GPS in 41:50 only to find there was another 200m to run! I'm surprised the Garmin was as far out (6.33 mls) but the big problem was really the lack of mile/km markers on the course.
Apart from that, the event was well organised and apart from the camber when overtaking the absence of twists and turns on the course was very welcome. It's definitely an event I would do again but I won't trust the Garmin next time.
