In short: Great race in a quiet countryside location
In full: Flat fast course makes this excellent for PB hunters. Quite a gusty headwind this year on the run out, but turned into a nice push in the back on the return leg.
Thoughtful touch to have the race organiser shaking each finishers hand at the end

In short: fabulous race
In full: excellent race with great PB potential. Organisation was good, the marshalls were really friendly and encouraging. The lady at the end shaking everybodies hand to congratulate them was a really really lovely touch; made what was potentially a fast race also just perfect for the slower runners. Well done and a big THANK YOU to Thetford AC. I will be back next year

In short: Fast race through east anglian countryside
In full: Great race again. Weather was challenging with a massive gusty headwind on the way out, but it helped a bit on the way back. Flatter than I remember from last year, with only one real mild incline at the beginning. Only criticism is that I couldn't hear the race organiser at the start giving instructions - a loud hailer would have been useful.

In short: Great course with pb potential
In full: A great little race. Climbs for the 1st km then flat with a downhill finish. Good pb potential, depending on the weather. Today there was a strong headwind in the first half and across open ground there is nowhere to hide. Can't blame the organisers for that though. Well worth the trip.

In short: Needed more loos.
In full: Not enough toilets. The queues for the limited amount of loos were dreadful.
The one size fits all reflective vest was not a good gift. It was NOT one size fits all. It swamped me as I'm a small lady, and was not much better on my small male other half.
Come on Breckland give us a useful goodie bag next year.
