In short: Double laps of non-scenic
In full: Organisation and marshals very good. The course is poor - two laps of a town with cars raring past, not the most inviting of places.
No medal, goody bag or even a burger which for entry on the day at £7 is steep.

In short: Don't know how people could eat straight after the race!!!!
In full: Was nice to have a mixture of countryside and town run. Maybe do it next year.

In short: A pleasant saturday afternoon race
In full: Friendly, generally well organised race. Fairly flat course. Sadly (happily) the runners were taken down the wrong road which made it 4.66 miles on my Garmin. Never mind, same for everyone...the unexpected finish was a welcome break for my tiring body. If only all finishes felt like that!
