In short: Much more pleasant than what I was expecting
In full: I heard through the grapevine that this race had little pb potential and that the steep hill about 1km in was a killer so I didn't have high hopes going into this. But after doing it I was thinking to myself what are they talking about? Sure the hill is long but its not that steep and you can easily make the time up in the downhill sections that follow. It was a very scenic race apart from the housing estate section at the end. It was very well organised and a thoroughly enjoyable morning. Well done Devizes!

In short: A good morning out.
In full: Good course. A moderate hill early on that did a good job of spreading out the pack. Then a good loop back, with a late detour around a reasonably pleasant estate. Organisation was mostly very good. Well organised admin procedures at the football club and friendly marshalling all the way around. Only blot was a very slow moving land rover discovery on the finishing straight just as I was trying to sprint for the finish. How did that happen? I was able to console the loss of a few seconds off my time with a tasty cake in the clubhouse.

In short: One of my favourites and good to see it still going strong.
In full: Well organised event and a bargain at £8 for an accurately measured course with a good mix of club runners and not. The hill at 2K is challenging but once you are over it's downhill for the next 7K. Still would like to see something different to a medal for finishing as I have got hundreds of them and they all go in the bin (not really but I lost interest in medals many years ago).

In full: Challenging course, hills in the first few miles. Weather didnt help as it was cold, windy with sleet and snow. Still enjoyable though. Great organisation and well marshalled

In short: Why does the sun come out running up hill!!!!!!
In full: My first road race since 1994, and it was as hard as the reviews from 2010 had led me to believe. Course was fairly challenging, and wasn't helped by what appeared to be a vast change in temperture everytime the sun popped out.
On the whole glad I done it.... Very reasonable, well organised local event.
