In short: Slick organisation with a sense of humour; well supported, too!
In full: The title said 'hilly', but the ugliest hill is over in the first mile. There is lots of pleasant, fast, gentle downhill, a two mile climb between 7 and 9 which is eminently runnable, then a mostly downhill finish. The organisation was excellent, there was even a nice T-shirt, even the weather was good, though there was plenty of water and sponges had it been to hot. It's on my must do list for next year!

In short: Very friendly and scenic but not PB territory
In full: A big hill at the start, then gently undulating till mile 8 where you get a gentle climb for 2 miles. Personally very happy to do this race again
