In short: Lovely country scenery, friendly organisation and back-up, and a course that needs concentration with lots of (gentle) hilly bits

In short: Bit hilly in parts and the wind played it's part but a quiet run through pictureque villages on a Sunday morning, what more could you want.

In short: Perhaps the marshal's were a little bored by the time I got there, but all were friendly and encouraging. Undulating does not do justice to the long gentle rise for most of mile 9 as it felt to me!

In short: Well organised race, lots of gradual inclines & wind made it hard work, especially in the first half

In short: Well done Ropsley, keep it up. Great event, great village.
In full: My second year doing this race. It's the way they all should be. Friendly, relaxed, open to everyone AND cakes to die for!!! Wish my village had this much enthusiasm (about anything!!) for sport.

In full: Friendly, well organised and a terrific course to boot. The only pity is it's going to be a year's wait to the next one!!
Well done Ropsley. Impressed.
