In short: Superb Marathon warm-up
In full: Such a well established and well organised race. I'll be back again whether I'm running a Spring Marathon or not. The hoodie alone is worth the entrance fee. Outstanding race.

In short: Tough but SO worth it :)
In full: Loved it! Great hoody and generous goody bag, friendly encouraging marshals proffering gels, jelly babies and chocolate as well as water to sustain the flagging runner ;) Times texted to our mobiles before we'd got back to the car. Well done all!

In short: Brill. Well done organisers.
In full: Very well supported, a race run by a local club, some of whom ran the distance the day before, so they know what you're going through. Marshalls and kiddies all in good humour despite the snow. I like the hoody, I've got drawers full of race T shirts.

In short: Excellent
In full: My first 20 mile run in preparation for London, very nervous about the hills, but loved every minute of it. It was a challenge but felt fabulous as I crossed the finish line. Well organised, super support along the way and a hoody you'll never want to take off. Will be back next year with/ without a spring marathon.

In full: Great organisation from start to finish, brilliant friendly marshals and organisers. Generous water stations with gels 2nd half, and jelly babies offered by lovely children. Bless them. Generous goody bag at end with the famous cheese cob and hoody, and it fits!!! Most of all, the superb masseurs on offer. They were off the scale. Thank you.
