In short: Needed work, looked like a first time event.
In full: Poor basic medals made it expensive. Marshalls chatting not pointing the way did not help. Course fine, don't mind hills. Terrible parking 10 min walk away.

Fun Run £5 Ouch most ever! just a basic medal not even winner prizes and again untrained marshalls, leaders had to wait for a marshall at one point. Hung about for ages for prizes and none! Bit poor that.
Must try harder.

In short: Well organised. Hill at the start was a tease. Well done to the team.
In full: Even with the 2km of climbs at the start this was definately a PB race but today the wind stopped it. Hot dogs and massage was a success, I will be back next year.

In short: The best small village race around
In full: A lovely village 10k through a scenic and almost traffic free country lanes. Superbly organised (where else do you get 3 excellent water stations on a 10k?) and a great welcome from the man on the tannoy at the finish. In addition there's a very well supported 3k run run for mostly kids which makes it a complete family day out. Well done Thurlby - I just wish that there were more folk like you around.

In short: They tried, better luck next year..... :-)
In full: Good challenging run.
Shame about the general lack of support along the way, although the Marshalls did try' thanx for that '
Shame they ran out of official medals, especially as the people nearer the back were given fun run medals !
A little upsetting .
Better luck next year !
