In short: Great race, great organisation and great fun.
In full: Flat road race, so ideal for PB. No crowding so once you have passed start line, very easy to find your pace and run the race you want to. Brilliant organisation and friendly marshalls. Not a great deal of public support due to route, but where they could, the local residents had come out and were great at cheering us on. Would recommend it as very beginner-friendly. Will definitely do it again next year.

In short: Good fun run, but terrible terrain!
In full: I ran because I support the HAS, so would do it again just for that. Organisation a bit chaotic at start and some course marshals better than others (one pointed me in the wrong direction as too busy sending text message!) More route marking would have been helpful, and mile indicators - particularly near end as I'd no idea how close I was to finish. More of a cross country run with very "rugged" track - quite dangerous in places with hidden holes, dips, tree roots etc,not to mention cow poo! Everyone I saw ended up walking in parts to avoid potential injury! Due to route, not much chance for supporters to cheer, but when they did, they were great. Great cheer too from organisers at end, but literally only for last few yards as until then, you're weaving in and around trees etc - then suddenly you're out in the field and a few yards from the finish. That said, (and don't know how),but managed to get around much faster than anticipated, so had good time.
