In short: Great Race to Kick start the year
In full: Another top race, superbly organised once again by Godiva Harriers. Good changing facilities, clubhouse for refreshments, clear fast course, well marshalled and as always quick to issue the results with prize givings to follow. Friendly club feel but a strong, fast field so tough to get placings.

In short: Great start to the year
In full: Very fast course though a little twisty at times. Can't say I missed the support with it being so short. It seemed mainly club runners but that helps when chasing a PB. That said, seemed friendly enough for beginners so they should not be put off.
Nice tea towel memento instead of another t-shirt for bed.

In short: Flat, Fast, Fun, and for some, Furry!
In full: Nice quick course, will be back in a future year to blitz it in vest and shorts, not Monkey suit.
Was impressed by the numbers and quality of the turnout, yet agree with comments this isn't just a club race - it's beginner friendly too.
