In short: Great race but...
In full: ... shame about the lack of toilets at the start - especially when there were loads of non-runners in the queues! A change of design in t-shirt and medal would be nice. But apart from the awful start (roll on next year - please let it be back in Cathedral Square with plenty of loos), the wonderful support from the Peterborough crowds makes it all worthwhile.

In short: Love this race!
In full: This is a great race but this year was not the best - how can water stations run out of water so quickly? And what happened to the goodie bag - last year's was so fabulous and this year's was so not good. And a lazy option with the medal and t-shirt - just the date changed :(

In short: 5miles for a pint - got to do it!
In full: This was brilliantly organised and very friendly. And a great pub with good beer to finish in. Hopefully this will happen again next year

In short: even better than last year
In full: The organisers obviously listened to last year's comments - the start and finish were much better. The support from the crowds was fabulous and the marshalls were very supportive - thank you all! And what a goody bag compared to last years! See you again in 08

In short: most enjoyable....
In full: ....apart from hearing and seeing the finishing line, but knowing there was still 2km to go - very demoralising

In short: The track was too narrow for the amount of runners
In full: and it was too cold to have the start delayed like that for those of us who were there on time - especially as there were no loos at the start

In short: For a HM virgin like me - fabulous!
In full: Being at the back of the start the pen issues didn't affect me and the crowd support was great. Loved the crowds all round the route - give them all a round of applause, and the marshalls were great - sorry you got the abuse - those car drivers have no manners! Thought it was a great race and the encouragement from everyone in the final stretch was awesome. Where's my t-shirt :D
