In short: Great race in a lovely setting
In full: Really enjoyed this as a short and sweet Friday evening run. One request to the organisers though - there were a lot of supporters present, who surely would have bought tea/coffee/cans whilst waiting. Just my other half's minor gripe.
Don't let that that detract from a great event though.
Big thanks to all the marshalls - your encouragement was very welcome.

In short: Thank you for a well organised race that suits all
In full: I ran this race today for the first time. I should say I am an experienced runner having done 10 full marathons plus including the south downs way in 96'. But I have not ran for 10 years and wanted something open to everyone to get outside and to get off my treadmill (bought 6 weeks ago) and back into real running. This was well orginised, easy to find and friendly. There where runners of all abilities and suited me brilliantly. I managed a slow 30 mins (which I am happy with given my current fitness) but if I'd been a 40 min runner I would have found good support too. Fast runners got praise just the same.
Friendly race and actually is suitable for all, I was sceptical and was worried about the pace but overall a nice break back into running.
Thanks.
(next time I'll be at the front lol)

Can I get my fitness back to 10 years ago:-
London Marathon 96 & 98 (3.58)
South Downs Way trial 96 (80 mile)(21 hours)
Sheffield Marathon Twice 96 & 97 (1.37)
Sleaford Half (1.32)
Woodhall Spa Twice (1.36)
Newark 3 times 94 +(1.32)
Three miles felt hard today but well worth it,
Thank you

In full: me and a friend from work did this run. The grounds are lovely. Supports welcome and they get to hang around the lake which is nice.
