In short: Hurts in a good way
In full: Great marshalling all over the course, good encouragement and clear directions given. Really well organised all round, full results displayed at the venue shortly after the finish. Hills were pretty challenging but not insane.

In short: A glorious run through the country side!
In full: The hills were hilly but nothing I couldn't handle. Such a small field with amny club runners but I was ok - not sure where I came, somewhere nearer the back than usual due to the number of super fit club runners (I had a baby 9 months ago so not back up to speed yet). Amazing organisation, location for start/finish (no queue for the ladies!) and fabulous marshalls all the way around - very encouraging and supportive. Well done all involved!!

In short: Tough? Yes. Do-able? Yes. Hurts? Guaranteed
In full: The race was so well organised - well done marshalls. This is a hard course, and you have to practically spill your guts to remain under 7 mi/min due to the 6 hill sections. Awesome course and a real challenge! I will be back next year.

In short: Excellent run!
In full: The marshals did an amazing job with controlling runners vs traffic. All were very friendly and supportive.

Lovely run, quite hilly which made it tough in places. Nice scenery, fields, woods and quaint villages....

Definitely will sign up for the next one!
