In short: STUPID FUN!
In full: Really enjoyed this race, ran as Bat Girl with my mate Stu dressed as Wonder woman - loads of odd looks and car horns as we sat outside the pub back in our quiet village! Well done, a good, quick, well organised, enjoyable race for a good cause.

In short: You won't get a flatter course but the big field could hinder those with PB ambitions in mind. . Poorr organisation at the start and nowhere near enough toilets!

In short: Running along side other super heroes - fantastic!!
In full: Excellent race... everyone must do this at least once before they die!!

Only slight critism's was that there was no medals (t-shirt was good though)and no PA system to organise runners at start of race.

In short: Fabulous to run by the sea: quite fast; very informal but fun: all fancy dress
In full: Only the second time I've done an organised run but good fun. Very informal; no clock at the end and all you get when you finish is a t-shirt and a muesli bar, but the atmosphere is great and it's lovely to run along the seafront.

In short: Family day out
In full: A great run, for the opportunity to come up with an costume, and make an effort (if you dont you feel like a numpty) plus there was the offer of prizes....which was what was so disappointing prizes seemed to be given to 'mates' of the organisers rather than those who had put in real hard work, blood sweat (and for some that showed on the day) and tears into making an effort, something emphasized in the title of this run. Was a disappointment to realise that this made little difference to the allocation of prizes, and will make me re-think the amount of effort i would put into this race again.

In short: Great for the atmosphere though the run itself is a little dull.
In full: The 10km is just 4 x 2.5 k laps of the promenade. Nice for the first 1 or two, but gets a little boring. Atmosphere is fantastic though and the costumes are a great laugh!

In short: Nice day at the beach
In full: Nice flat course, lovely weather and great costumes. Another water station would have been good and chip timing might be a bonus for those looking to take it a little more seriously.
