In full: Plenty of parking and toilet facilities at the start, well marshalled, good support throughout and lovely rolling course. Quite a strong cross wind but plenty of hedgerows for cover. 3 water stations was more than enough but only complaint is that I prefer a bottle of water as opposed to a cup.
Good turn out from lots of local teams, will definately have another go.

In full: I was disappointed with this race.
£20 entry + £3 parking makes it very costly considering there is no chip timing and no bottled water. Considering the heat, having children handing out tumblers of water made it difficult to cope at times.
The track is very gritty and too many sharp bends and cambers did not help my kness on the way back from a stress fracture.
A good race for a beginner who wants their family to be entertained whilst they run but very poor value for money.
I wanted to be able to come back for the 12th June and keep coming year after year but never again I'm afraid.

In full: The course is fairly undulating but fairly traffic free and the glorious sunshine really added to the sense of the spring in the air. I enjoyed the modifications to the course with the finish now being a gentle downhill. The changing/toilet facilities at the beginning were a bit cramped and I think for race of this length bottled water could be provided as opposed to a cup where the majority gets spilled. Nice idea to provide a hat in the goody bag that will get a lot more use than a t-shirt…nice race for a spring assault on the marathons.

In full: weather was poor but not much they can do about that..not sure the roads were sutiable for the amount of runners..nice touch having your name read out at the end though.

In full: This race sits beautifully in the calender as a return to racing after the FLM. It is a rolling sympathetic course run in idyllic forest surroundings,traffic free, excellently marshalled and organised by arguably Britain's most fun and friendliest running club. A must for any runner who has forgotten why they run....

In short: A good rolling circuit but very exposed to the winds at times. Good support along the way with adequate water stations. Poor goodie bag at the end
