In short: Well organised and supported 10 miler
In full: Not only were there nearly as many marshalls as runners(!) but they were fantastically supportive so thank you! A really well organised and friendly race with the best range of home made cakes I have ever seen at the end of a run!! Will definitely be back next year if Ware Joggers plan to run it again :)

In short: Great half marathon!
In full: My first time running the Macc half and I really enjoyed it. The organisation was brilliant with great marshalls and support all round the course and it was fun to finish on the track. Be prepared (and train!) for the hills and they won't seem so bad! Honestly! I even got an unexpected PB!! Many thanks to everyone who helped to put on a great event :)

In short: Absolutely bloomin marvellous!
In full: A fantastic off-road event. I even found myself running along smiling to myself at times! Good organisation and great camaraderie with fellow runners (hanging back to hold open gates for each other and grouping together to work out where to go next etc). I really enjoyed this run and, at 20 miles, it was 5 miles further than I've ever run before :)
If you are reading this because you are considering entering the 2010 race all I can say is stop pondering and just do it! (and no, I don't have anything to do with Dunstable Road Runners!).

In short: Great half marathon...shame about my performance!
In full: A great half marathon; wonderful location, a lovely run beneath the trees, much appreciated support from the marshalls and locals. I really enjoyed running the first 8 miles but then the heat got to me and it was a battle to finish - I'll have to come back next year to make amends!

In short: Great little race
In full: First time at this race and really enjoyed it. Scenic route on quiet roads with some very slight inclines but generally flat. Unfortunately someone turned the sun on just as the race started which made it quite challenging! Wonderful cakes at the finish! :)

In short: Great way to spend a Friday evening
In full: This is a lovely race; it's friendly, the organisation is great, the centre (race HQ) wonderful and with a BBQ, tea, home-made cakes and even beer to round off the evening it's as near to perfect as you can get (ok, so the bit in the middle - the actual running - hurt quite a lot but I did beat my time from last year by over a minute so it was worth the pain!).
Thanks Flyers!

In short: Great 10K - thanks Flyers!
In full: My third time running this 10K and - third time lucky - got a big pb! As usual, a really well organised, friendly, well marshalled event on a good course with a few challenging undulations in the middle section. I'll be back!

In short: A well organised, well supported half marathon
In full: The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the organisation great, the supporters (marshalls & spectators) brilliant and the fact that chip times were sent by text immediately after finishing was fantastic! A really enjoyable half marathon.

My only 'areas for improvement'(!) would be the usual request for more toilets at the start and more small T-shirts (small sizes had run out by the time I finished at just under 2 hrs).

In short: Hard but good!
In full: Good weather, good race and great organisation/support. Still red-faced and out of breath now though!!! Hard work but enjoyed it (and definitely felt that I'd earned my gatorade and tracker bar!).

In short: Wonderful!
In full: Well organised fabulous run with amazing scenery. Great T-shirt (although pity they didn't have an XS option for us little folk!) Fantastic weekend away in a great part of the country. The only improvement I can suggest (as someone else has said) would be a few more portaloos at the start. Besides that it was a perfect race!
