In short: Reasonable trot out on a friday night!
In full: First time doing this race. Big thanks to the marshalls and it was well organised. However it does have a lot of club runners so timeings are quick!!

In full: Second raced I have run this year which has been organised by City Of Norwich Athlectics Club. Again, superb marshalls, all offering encouragement, packed goody bag (drinks, crisps, fruiy and bars, and medal is of genuine quality. Two hills make it a challenge, but on the whole a fast course. I gained a PB, so well chuffed. Excellent value for money.

In short: Great race!
In full: Excellent, well organised race - superb goody bag & great medal. Those two hills were agony though and the damage had already been done once I reached the final 1km of downhill! Would be good to not have the 180 degree turn and run round a cone though!

In full: Pros: Good marshalling, great goody bags, very nice medals, nice crowd support
cons: bit clubby...quite small if you're used to bigger runs, biggest issue was the route!! The route was quite boring as you went over the same pieces of tarmac and stayed very close to the starting point, as this is the close to the area of the half marathon I expected a nice round route but was disappointed and this is the only thing putting me off running again
