In short: Very friendly enjoyable race
In full: Super fun spring run, over a great distance which fits perfectly into the training plan for a spring marathon. Well organised and good course. The tech t shirt this year is even more reason to do it.

In short: Great morning out as ever
In full: A really friendly local run with lots of banter on the way round and supportive marshals. Great running weather enhanced the feel-good factor.

In short: Nicely challenging and well organised.
In full: My first Norton 9 and probably not my last. Plenty of parking and right next to race HQ. Using toilets in a primary school always makes you feel 10 feet tall! Bit of a squash at the start but once we were off there was plenty of room and plenty of banter. A couple of testing hills on the way round but other than that a comfortable route. Short climb right before the end a bit cheeky! Enjoyed this one and will come back.

In short: Rain, snow and more rain!
In full: Well organised as ever, echo the other compliments, especially for those marshalls/officials out in the lashing rain and snow, sorry I kept you out! Cheers Askern DC.
