In short: Lack of training meant slower than last year
In full: Another good race to add to your calendar and sold out to boot. A good atmosphere throughout with a good mix of runners.

In short: i really enjoyed the course.
In full: for a small race, it was very well organised, a good course which is surprisingly flattish. just one problem it seemed short of 6 miles and there looked to be room for the extra on the final straight. overall a good run.

In short: Always enjoy this one despite the conditions this year.
In full: It seemed a short 6 miles to me but if they say its 6,its 6.Ithought something could have been given to all runners even if it was only a pen,but I will be there again in 2010.
