In short: Great local race
In full: This was my first ever 5 mile race and as it is on my doorstep it seemed foolish not to enter. The organisation was great with very good marshalling and I was made to feel very welcome by Boston and District Athletic Club, so much so I may even join the club. A flat scenic course, the only downside was the headwind. A British legion medal at he end rounded the event off nicely.

In short: Enjoyable local race.2 mins silence before run was a nice touch
In full: Very enjoyable race, and I thought it was well organised.Fast and flat.My only real critisism was that 5.4 miles was a bit of a meaningless distance.Why not make it either 5 miles or 10k?

In short: Did the 1.5 fun run with my girls, closer to 2.5 miles
In full: fun run longer than advertised and no water stops or at the finish for fun runners, criminal considering I had a 5 and 8 year old with me. Organisation was so so but the fast busy road bend wasn't marshalled at all
