In short: Good course, well organised
In full: Excellent PB potential here, very flat course. Threw it down in spades on the day but the marshalls remained positive throughout. I will definately be back next year.

In short: Excellent, 'nuff said!
In full: Great event, even the organisers recognised me from the runnersworld forums and made a point of saying hello! Definate PB course and everyone is dead friendly. This was my first time at this race, i will be doing the whole series next year without fail.

In short: OK
In full: More loos at the start please! Course was OK but the ups/downs around the roads took their toll. Scenery was ok but it was the same for very long stretches. Some very narrow (and tricky when wet) parts of the course. Organisation seemed to be pretty slick throughout and the marshalls provided encouragement.

In short: Friendly atmosphere, a few hills, well organised. Nice morning out.
In full: Got a PB on this but only second race at this distance which is why i marked the PB potential down as i think for a serious runner it may not be so easy due to the hills on the course. But great day, small race field, enjoyed it and will hopefully be back next year.

In short: A great PB course, great organisation, thoroughly enjoyed it!
In full: Managed a fantastic PB on this very flat course. Didnt get caught up in the bottlenecks but there was definately a short and very narrow path on the course. Organisation excellent but dont use the park and rides unless you are planning on arriving early enough to get to the front of the queue for the bus. Unfortunately no medal for this one but the race organisers say it is to cut costs. Will definately be back next year.

In short: Good race, poor scenery and lack of time zones at the start
In full: A nice reasonably race with a fast course which i enjoyed. This was my first 5 mile race and the shortest one i have done so i was going to get a PB whatever. But it would have been much better had it not been for the really congested start. Great value for money though with a decent medal and goody bag. For next year i suggest Handycross put out expected finish time starting pens.

In short: PB, Good organisation, great day!
In full: Good flat course, excellent for novices. More toilets required. Main parking is a bit of a trek (which didnt help my faithful supportive disabled father one bit). Start was a little congested, BUT - Clear well measured mile markers, good atmosphere, great scenic flat route, a personal best and a camel, all in all a great day. I will be back next year for another PB hopefully!

In short: Shame about one or two cars on the course, and its quite narrow on the short off road section. Overall I enjoyed it!
