In full: I really enjoyed this. Organisation and marshalling was exemplary. Great challenging course with some nasty hills to boot. Can't fault it.

In short: Great Race - Nice Medal - New PB
In full: This was the first December race I have ever run (I usually hibernate Sept-Mar) and despite the low winter sun which was blinding in places it was a really scenic pleasant race. I turned up a tad late and had to rush to the start so missed meeting the "Green Tinsel Army". I'm going to love tucking into my Xmas Pud on Christmas Day!

In short: Cracking Race - Cracking weather - Great fun
In full: A superb fast race in the beautiful black country. A good mixed ability field, gently undulating course, well marshalled. Superb weather made this race one of the best I've been to this year - and a fitting end to my personal running year - well done to the organisers!!.
