In full: Well organised, with large numbers of marshals. Weather made the terrain slippy in places. Major criticism was the £14 fee which i consider far too much for a low key local 5 mile race

In short: Small club race, well organised and fun despite the awful weather conditions
In full: Torrential rain had runners huddling in the marquee before the start but thankfully eased off as the race got going. The wet ground was dicey in places, with one guy going over on the grass in front of me not long after the start, and a few slopes and cobbled bits where going slow was the only sensible option. A lot of weaving round big puddles required along the towpath. Despite the weather, the atmopshere was pleasant, the marshals did a great job, and there were quite a few PBs from what I could tell. Nice race shirt as well.
