In short: Great race but why does it always rain?!
In full: A great race, nice route & well organised. Only a small field & very friendly atmosphere, bottled water and a lovely glass as a momento, cant go wrong with this race. Thanks RRR

In short: Great course
In full: 2nd year and complete contrast in weather conditions. Last year, freezing and lashing with rain, this year, hot hot hot! I found it tough going with the heat but the route was as lovely as I remembered. Great support and the start and finish and near the end, the two little girls handing out slices of orange were greatly appreciated. Supportive marshalls kept me plodding on. There are a few climbs but nothing major and it has good downhill and flat sections to make up time on. If it hadn't been for the heat I would have got my best time for a 7 mile race. See what the weather brings next year!

In short: Great day out
In full: Glorious weather - bit too glorious for running uphill perhaps but two very welcome water stations were provided and the sun and the undulating course made the scenery quite stunning. This was a very well organised and very friendly event that was accurately described on the Runners World website as a "Yorkshire gem"

In short: excellent organisation.
In full: Thanks for providing the extra water station at 5miles. It helped to keep us going and finally get to the finnish. A very friendly run race. For once the sun shone for the supportive marshalls, but not so good for the runners!

In short: As excellent as ever
In full: From the downpour last year to Gas Mark 9 conditions this time, but no change in the outstanding organisation, as they even put on an extra water station at 5 miles. I would vote for the return of the glass block memento next year though!
