In short: Superb. Fantastic atmosphere, clockwork organisation, fabulous crowd support and a proper wicking t-shirt in my size that I will definitely use In full: Absolutely brilliant, I loved it. Thank you to all the lovely, supportive marshalls and especially to that wall of people yelling encouragement on the hills in Abbotsley.
The crowd support especially was fantastic - I came in just below the two hour mark, and from the amount of yelling and screaming you'd think I won the race!
Thanks a million and see you next year Date of review: November 16, 2009

In short: Loved it, thanks for a brilliant race! In full: Okay I'm doing 20 miles because I have to rather than from choice (FLM training), but what a great way to do it! The scenery is picture postcard stuff, the marshalls are just the most fabulous supportive people you'll ever come across (they even dish out jelly babies!), the atmosphere is fanastic and the top that is the momento is something I'll actually wear for once. Big, big, big thanks to Bedford Harriers for organising such a great race Date of review: April 5, 2009

In short: Loved it - gorgeous scenery, great atmosphere, friendly, encouraging marshalls and a goody bag as well as a medal at the end was far more than I expected for seven quid! In full: Thanks everyone. Somehow this race manages to combine a relaxed family atmosphere with clockwork, professional organisation. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and somehow it made the whole course seem either pancake flat or downhill! Definitely one I'd do again Date of review: May 20, 2008

In short: I loved this race, which is one hell of an achievement considering the weather this morning! In full: The organisation is first class, the scenery's lovely, but it's the atmosphere that makes it. There's loads of cheering locals around the villages, and the marshalls are so brilliantly encouraging I almost forgot I was running in November in the teeth of a howling gale! Almost.... :-) See you again next year. Date of review: November 18, 2007

In short: Well organised, nice run with a good atmoshpere, although the weather was killingly humid so no chance of a decent time, or at least that's my excuse! Also I was chuffed to bits with the running bag as a momento. Date of review: August 7, 2006

In short: Fantastic scenery and atmosphere, marshalls were wonderful, would definitely do this again In full: Really scenic, lovely race, I thorougly enjoyed it. And they even do T-shirts in women's sizes! Thanks in particular to the brilliant marshall on the junction around 7.5 miles, who looked after my extra T-shirt while I ran up and down the loop, and even picked it up and handed it to me when he saw me plodding back towards him.
