In short: Great rural road race with lots of ups and downs
In full: A good little event this. Nice rural course with little traffic to contend with except on one very short stretch. It is continuously up and down so don't fly off at the start. The start has moved since the last time and so had the parking but it seemed to work ok. Refreshments laid on my the scouts but this whole affair is pretty low-key but good.

In short: Just discovered this race - shame I missed out in previous years
In full: 1st time at this one & it will not be my last. I cannot believe that a event this good was on my doorstep & I have not done it before. Well done to those who helped to put on this one. Great event.

In short: Great, challenging route through quiet country lanes
In full: A particularly warm morning, after lousy weather for I don't know how long took me a bit by surprise, but this wasn't the organisers' fault!
The organisation was very good, but the marshals were, on the whole, very quiet. The odd word of encouragement would have made a huge amount of difference! Also, it would help if marshals in key positions would indicate which way the runners should go, and not leave it up to the runners to ask!
All told though, that's a race I'd be happy to tackle again next year.

Only complaint was poor organisation as regards parking.
Will do race again I'm sure :-)

In full: Only my 4th ever race and definitely the hardest one to date, two nice big hills to knock you out of your stride but the views around the course took away the pain of those. only just missed out on breaking through the eight minute mile barrier, so maybe I'll be back next year to do just that.
