In short: A course for anyone chasing a PB really well organised
In full: A good start time for a winter race (not to early, therefore not to cold), Very well organised, nice goody bag, super quick route (completely flat). Attracts some top runners from surrounding areas. This race is an excellent way to end the year. Nice goody bag aswell.

In short: A lovely Sunday Morning crisp cold but sunny run!! Loved it.
In full: Great organisation as usual from Chris, got a PB last year, first in 10 years. Never have to buy a pudding for Christmas day, just have to run for it :-)

In short: I look orward to this one !
In full: Despite having to park a fair jog away as the field was full (my own fault for arriving late !) and arriving at the start line with seconds to spare, this race was my fav of the year. As someone else has commented, nice to hear an enthusiastic crowd.

In short: Congratulations to all on a superb race, as always
In full: Started by a running celebrity (Liz Yelling), a fast PB inducing course, a generous sports bag with Christmas pud and other goodies just for finishing... what more could we ask for!

Special thanks to all the marshals - great to see so many from the local community supporting this race.

In short: Once again very well organised fast race with excellent atmosphere.
In full: I really love this race, last chance in the year to post a good time, well organised, friendly and despite the cold has that feel good factor. Managed to park in an allocated parking field this year so maybe its even better than last year.
