In short: Very well organised race, be back next year
In full: My first marathon and enjoyed it very much, I felt OK until 20 miles and found the last 6 hard going, still managed 3 hours 20mins which I was very happy with. The course was varied from flat to a couple of long hills. Felt quiet on the second lap but this was due to lack of runners than support from the crowds. Organisation was great, I hope all my future marathons are as good. Lots of water stns, having bottles really helps. A bit congested at the start but no big deal as it is a long race. Thanks to the organisers.

In short: Well organised excellent race
In full: Really good running conditions on a fast course. Knocked 7 minutes off my PB and went under 1:30 for the first time. Course was not traffic free but the marshalls did an excellent job. I will be back next year.

In full: Nice course if a bit hilly to begin with, I managed a PB(maybe the training is working). Well organised by the club who had to cope with road works etc - thanks Devizes Running Club - see you next year.

In short: Hard but fun.
In full: Ran the Rough and Tumble a few weeks ago and much of the same but a bit more mud! More hills and mainly in the second half. Enjoyed the race and will be back next year. Congrats to Pewsey Vale Running Club for a well organised race.

In short: Hard but enjoyable
In full: My first time and I think I need to purchase some trail shoes, the muddy/icy conditions were hard in normal trainers. Very enjoyable though and well organised. See you next year.

In short: Very enjoyable race, will be back next year.
In full: A well organised race with a very good turnout. I got a bit held up in the first Km but this might have helped as I normally set off too quick. The weather was n't great but at least the rain held off. A very good value race. I'll be back next year.

In short: Enjoyable but challenging.
In full: My first half marathon and I enjoyed it. The course is hilly, I set off too fast and found the last three miles hard work. Managed a time of 1hr 35 min, which I was pleased with as it was quite warm on the day. Very well organized and I will certainly do again.

In short: Hilly but enjoyable race
In full: A lovely morning for a testing hilly run. Some places still a bit damp under foot, but this added to the fun. I will be back next year. Well done Newbury AC

In short: Tough Race!
In full: The first hill is steep but OK, but the real killer is the hill at the end, seems to go on forever - no sprint finish. My first time but enjoyed it even though it hurt.
