In full: I don't know why more people don't do this race it is well organised on a fast scenic off road course,easy car parking near to venue and there is a bar at where the presentations are done. A great race I will do again

In short: A great little event
In full: With only 80 odd runners this was a small event, which is a shame because I found it to be well organised with a good route giving most a chance of a PB.
My only grumble, as has been mentioned by others was the shock of the finishing line. A sign giving distance to the finish would have been better.

In short: Very enjoyable race, finish line was a bit of a shock!
In full: I ran a decent time which was thanks to the flat nature of the course and the good conditions. The organisation was fine, however there was the usual interminable wait for the presentations!
A sign saying '200 yards to go' or something similar might be useful as i let a guy pass me thinking I could outsprint him once the finish was in sight. Unfortunately the finish was literally round the corner 10 yards away. Whoops! I asked a number of other runners who said that like me they stopped their watch halway down the finish funnel as they didn't see the finish line coming. Surely this can't be right!
Good fun race overall and I will be back to do it again.

In short: Small field, possibly due to terrible weather, but organisation very good & a big thank you to all the marshalls who stood in the pouring rain to make the run possible. A run I would do again.
