In short: a fast course
In full: Always good to run in local races. Flat and fast and a mixture of abilities despite it being a Lancashire Championship race. Even got a nice t-shirt afterwards. Great value and organisation. Well done LSARR.

In short: Great race - definately coming back next year!
In full: Did this race for the first time yesterday. Was excellent. Is flat, flat, flat, virtually traffic free, loads of friendly marshalls, brilliant organisation, toilets, parking.

A lovely atmosphere and a great mix of abilities - from 5min milers to 13 min milers...a great first race if you're feeling nervous!

Well done organisers!
