In short: Flat course and entry to the animal park.
In full: Well worth participating to support the animal park.
Run is fine as it is, but if I'm allowed a but three things could be better.
1, The toilets were oversubscribed at the start and 600m away from the line! Useful to have foreknowledge of this.
2, The initial part of the course is a narrow lane. Some marshalling of runners into prospective time bands with prominent signage would help initial traffic difficulties at the start.
3, The final portion before the finishing line is uneven. Be careful not to injure yourself. Not conducive for a safe sprint finish.
Still, I heartily recommend this Saturday run to any waverers.

In short: Good fun. flat, easy race
In full: Really badly organised though - race pack didn't arrive in time, and 209 event employees were extrememly unhelpful.
Race itself was good fun, and great location.

In short: nice flat race!
In full: Just allow yourself time to get to the start as its about 1 mile from the car park. I made the mistake of collecting my timing chip, then going back to car to get changed, then having to get back to the start(good 3 mile warm up)then had to join race near the back.

In short: Fabulous race, quick and well organised
In full: Very well organised, as Mark Gratton's usually are. I came fifth in the old biddies section and improved my pb by two minutes so was absolutely thrilled having only been running for a year. Spent time in the park afterwards so a great day. Only downside was the coffee it was disgusting!!

In short: Fast Flat Course - Well marshalled - 1 drinks stop (bottles) - Would certainly do it again
In full: A nice touch was the reduced entry price for family so with the race it makes it a good day out. Quite a way to the starting line so allow plenty of time. All in all a good course for a fast time and for first time runners.

In short: Great PB potential
In full: Lovely race, great location at the wildlife park. The race was pretty well organised, lots of porto-loos at the start but no hand washing or alchohol rub, that would have been good.
The start was a little bit tight on the little country lane so make sure you get in the proper position for your pace.
The coutryside was really pretty and the route totally flat so a real PB opportunity, the wind was kind but if it had picked up it would have made things a bit trickier.
Using one of the training schedlues from this website I trained for 8 weeks building up to this race and smashed my PB and the 40 min barrier.
Great stuff, thanks a lot.
