In short: An enjoyable race over a testing but fun course.
In full: I enjoyed this one. A nice route with a couple of steady climbs thrown in for good measure, but lots of encouragement from the marshals to see you through. Facilities and car parking excellent, and great value all round.

My only comment (not criticism as such) was the start. Perhaps next year they could start on the main road to avoid all the bottlenecks and congestion, and maybe tag a bit onto the end by making more use of the field? Just a suggestion, but overall a great race.

In short: Not the most scenic race and a tough first 7 miles, but enjoyable and will return next year.

In short: A very enjoyable race, with very friendly marshals!
In full: A bit of an issue with the car-park due to the wet weather, but the race itself was great. A couple of decent hills thrown in, and we ALWAYS seemed to be running into the wind, so PB options not great, but a very enjoyable race. Thanks to all involved with this, and I do hope this event runs again in 09.
