In short: Challenging 3 lap course set in Blenheim Palace grounds, on a warm day. Marshalls and people manning the drink stations were very supportive. The 2pm start and the warm sunshine added to the challenging nature of the course.

In short: Excellent organisation. A figure of 8 course. A few hills in the first half followed by a very flat second half. The route around Holme Pierrepont is always challenging but OK. Good medal, reasonable goody bag

In short: A very good city marathon. Start and finish areas were excellent. The marshalls were very supportive. Thanks to the people manning the drinks stations. Two items to consider for next year - more mile markers and some isotonic drinks on the course

In short: An excellent race overall. As others have said, a bit congested at the start due to parked cars but otherwise ok. Loads of drinks stations that were appreciated on a hot day. The finish in the market square is excellent. I'll be back next year.

In short: Organisation at the start / finish area was excellent. I had no problems on the course (followed the person in front of me - hoped they knew where they were going). An undulating course but nothing too bad. An excellent medal at the end.

In short: A well organised race, linked to the village fair. Many drinks stations around the course. The marshalls, other runners and spectators were very supportive. A bit windy around the airfield today. But overall an excellent day. I'll be back next year.
