In short: Nice route, well organised, just a shame there's no medal! :(
In full: Route is a fairly flat, fast 7 miles, with well placed marshalls throughout and two water stops (although the 1st was at 1.5 miles which seems a bit early!). Great atmosphere, and well organised make this an enjoyable race, just a shame there's no medal at the end (though you do get something - in the past I've had a bag and a mug)

In short: Well organised scenic event. Uncommon distance makes it PB Potential
In full: First race back from an injury lay-off and worth the journey from Berkshire. Well organised event on a pleasantly undulating rural course. 2 minutes silence before race ensured a prompt 11.02 start.

In full: Very well organised raced again this year. Mildly amusing bit when some of us thought the race had started, but wasn in fact jog to the start line! Still got a PB.

In short: A great race which is a favourite for most local people
In full: A great race with a local feel, well organised with friendly and encouraging marshals. The hill at 4.5 miles makes it a tough course for PBs

In short: Well organised event
In full: Very well organised, superb marshalls, lovely tea & cakes, and a challenging route (the hill at 4 knocks a few seconds off!) A bit disappointed to just receive a towel as I was expecting a goody bag & medal (as advertised)

In short: My first Scenic 7 - really well organised & will definitely being running next year. Not one for a PB though as the hill just after 4 is brutal!
