In short: Shame about the last 1 mile or so around the houses! Very well organised and marshalled. Something to eat in the 'goody' bag would have been nice.

In short: A new course but still uninspired!!! Few more 'hills' than previous course so it felt slightly slower or am I getting slower due to old age!

In short: Got a PB despite the hills!!! Didn't like the 'false finishes' as mentioned by another reviewer. Probably as close as I'll get to The Grove Hotel!

In short: Pleasant course with a few ups and downs to test you. Mile markers only on a 10K race, bit strange - also not sure they were very accurate when I looked at my splits.

In short: Started in the 7 min miler area (although I'm an 8 min miler) and still got caught up by runners walking after 1/2 mile, didn't help that they all seemed to want to hold hands!! Something needs to be done about the start!
