In short: The GNR is an institution of Mass Participating Brilliance
In full: Been doing it every year for the last 9 years. Around 50k runners so it can bottle-neck in a couple of places but on the whole one of the most important races on Uk calender. Love it. Average runners watch the last 3 miles - they can suck the life out of your legs! Try and save a bit to get you thru Mile 11

In short: nice community spirit, intimate, flat, scenic
In full: I wouldnt do it again. As a "slower" runner I struggled with the 6 laps. Especially getting lapped twice by the fast clubbers. Very disheartening having to do another lap feeling so hot, tired and seeing other people finished relaxing with lucosade etc. Other than that it was brilliant. Cannot fault any other aspect of the event.

In short: great event, quick - the PB is on! Stadium finish nice touch
In full: The main hill climbs are in the first few miles so save your energy. The middle stint is windey and more pleasing through the town. The mile markers seemed to fly by, i felt stronger as it went on and finishing in the stadium is nice. Its deffo a pb course. The organisation was good and the traffic wasn't too bad either. 8/10
