In full: This was my 4th Cancer run in 4 weeks. The scenery was great. I did a PB for the 3rd week in succession and thoroughly enjoyed a great atmosphere. My only criticisms which echo throughout each of these events is (a) they never seem to start on time (b) the facilities are never enough - e.g. 20 loos for 1,000+ runners, and being kept waiting until gone 10.10am to get into the grounds in the 1st place! (c) dodgy KM markers. The support for these events is terrific, but they just need a little bit of tweaking here and there. Thankyou Cancer Research UK for some excellent venues.

In short: This was the 3rd of the Cancer Research events I have done this year. The best organised of the bunch, and the only one that started nearly on time!

In short: Very enjoyable event, PB achieved! Though I have some reservations about the organisation of this event! (see longer review)
In full: A great run. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and achieved a new PB time for 10K. Having left home at 6.30am to get to Blenheim for 9.00am (please arrive by this time) it is extremely frustrating that the race didn't start on time (AGAIN!) - 25 minutes late. This was due to speeches and a warm up. If you are going to do all this start it earlier! Also the KM markers were not accurate. It took me nearly 5 mins to do the 1st KM and from the 8KM mark to the finish it took me 6 mins 18 secs - I've never run that fast! I'm sorry to be critical, but please get it right for next year. Otherwise it was great!

In short: Good mix of conditions, on and off road, hilly in places but the downhills far outweighed that hill!
