In short: Small Event
In full: Lap and a bit of Thruxton. Currently a very small event which is very low key. Thus it has very little atmosphere, though that may come. Not the most exiting course as it's a motor circuit, but that means it should be quick, even if I'm not. Entry fee of £8 is a little steep as there was no prizes or momento.

In short: A Friendly and Fast 5km
In full: Really enjoyable fast 5km, a good chance to get a PB on the wide open tarmac of the race curcuit. The organisation is good and everything worked well, a shame that there is no momento to remember such a good race/series. As this race grows and I'm sure it will I'm sure it will only get better.

In short: Nothing getting in the way of a good time
In full: Generally a very enjoyable event, perfect for the runner who wants to see how fast they can go without any distractions such as traffic, hills, curbs, congestion etc. Hopefully this event will grow in popularity as it was well thought out and organised and deserves success.
