In short: A great race - the organisers couldn't do anything about the weather!
In full: My third running of this race and once again it was great. Shame about the weather! Special thanks to all the marshalls who were cheerful and encouraging although they must all have been freezing!

In short: Very hard work but worth the effort.
In full: Great marshalls and the course was extremely well marked - no chance of getting lost even for back markers like me. Plenty of water stations with jelly babies and sponges. One of the best organised races I've been to.

In short: The weather was just too hot for a very difficult course
In full: Very hard hilly course and a 10.30 start meant it was really hot. Well organised, well marshalled and very friendly.

In short: Shame about only 6 portaloos for 500 or so entrants.
In full: I realise that the problem with not having access to the on site facilities at HQ wasn't the fault of the organisers but it really let down this race. Glad the race start was delayed for those in the queue for the loos.

Also, for those of us at the back, running alone, it was sometimes difficult to know whether or not we were on the right route. Otherwise though marshalls were enthusiastic and friendly and the jelly babies were much appreciated!

In short: Great day, superb weather and good running with friends.
In full: My third visit to this race and will definitely do it again. Definite PB material, and squeezed out a 5 second PB this year.

Didn't see any KM markers except at the turn at 6.5km. No water at the finish and didn't get given medal - had to go back and ask for one.

But thorough enjoyed it.
