In short: Flat,but not very exciting
In full: Positives. Road Closures. Good for PB. Despite phoning two or three times to amemnd details, when I collected my number they had no number for me. Good job had my receipt.
Poor organisation. Not very well signposted to reception and start. Muddled start and not clearly marked. Poor atmosphere and not a great deal of local support. Marshalls good but not in great supply. This was a club championship run. We got some good times in the top ranks. Dont think we will come back though.

In short: Well organised with fantastic PB potential.
In full: Great race this year, weather and conditions were perfect for running. Fast and relatively flat course with a nice goody bag at the end. My only criticisms are that all people were mixed abilities at the start, could really have done with marked banners for timing pens so you started in the right place based on ability and I would like to have seen the clock working as I crossed the finish line, apart from that happy days and I would definitely come back.

In short: Great Run!
In full: I probably like this so much as I got my first ever sub 2 hour but I genuinely think it is a great race. My only criticism would be the start was a bit manic. Very narrow and lots of different paces mixed together. Thought it would be much duller but didn't find it boring at all. Will be back next year.
