In short: Finally broke 50 mins!! Great surroundings. Lots of welcome encouragement round the course, especially from the marshalls. Well organised. Pity about the momento and shortage of toilets, but I'll be back for sure next year.

In short: This was my second year - and better than last year - but I had forgotten how hard that hill was especially second time around! - Will be up for it again next year though

In short: Nice 10km to do, apart from the hill.
In full: As usual, well organised and run by Cirencester, I've done a few races now, so I think I can say that.

Nice scenery, and good support from the crowd.

The only criticism I have is around the novelty gifts we get at the end. I personally would like a medal, and I guess others would aswell, so please can we have one next year.

In short: An good race.
In full: Nice scenery, and good atmosphere. Marshall's and organisation good.

A few of points though, RUNNERS WORLD WEBSITE said a new single lap course for this year?
C'mon Cirencester AC, we want medals not a wrist bum-bag, you can't stick that in your medal cabinet to show your grand-children.

If I heard one person moaning about walking to the start, I heard them all, I read the race instructions, so perhaps in large bold print next year you should put ATLEAST 10 MINS WALK TO START.

Guy on the finishing line said check website Monday night for results, but still no show.

In short: Good org. Great Marshals, enjoyed it
In full: So the answer to last year's question, the memento this year was an ASBO Tag holder, very useful. Was a good race, very friendly, marshals were encouraging (thanks). liked the shorter start longer finish. really enjoyed the race thank you.
