In short: excellent race to blow the cobwebs away on a fine Sunday morningg.
In full: This is a good 5 mile course with every thing thrown in, mud,water,trees and hills ! The last hill got me again this year but still managed to clip 02:24 off last years time. Well done to FODAC great facilities at the start/finish. Would have been nice however to get a t-shirt or medal rather than chocolates. Nice to see more runners out this year hope this continues year on year.

In short: Probably wont do this one again Bath definately has the edgeon organisation!n
In full: As thought by many before the race the start was a complete shambles there was a veritable rainbow of colours in the suposed green section.Not helped by the mix up in issuing the correct time zone to runners. As for the goody bag containing 1 can of soup is nothing less than a joke,a bananna and a energy bar would not have been to much to expect! Easily seen distance markers or lack of compounded the misery

In short: The hill felt steeper this year! Mostly well organised,fine weather was a bonus.
In full: My only negative point is that the nice tee shirt supply ran out for us 1hr plus runners at the back of the field. Did some of the runners take two! This should not happen if if you swap in your race number.So very disappointing considering no medal eitherand the £9 entry fee :-(

In short: Well worth the trip to the Cotswolds, assisted by hot &sunny conditions
In full: Enjoyed this run,lovely location nice to have the festival field and its facilities to enjoy after the race.To be picky the goody bag could be better mine didnt have a energy bar. Water was always going to be an issue on such a hot day! Thanks to the marshalls who gave us water on the left turn at about 9K much appreciated. The two hills were a little cheeky ( no reference to Sharon intended ! )

In short: Nice race good facilities at the start
In full: Second time entered well worth the money with a good tee shirt as momento
I was being paced by a loose horse in the road just before the hill would have loved to jump on its back at that point, thanks to the cyclist who took him off me ( well he had no choice really !!!!

In short: Excellent atmosphere, the route is fantastic no real problems hill wise so great for a p b
In full: The race director and his team should be congratulated for a very well run event, even the weather was kind to us.Some of the issues people have are of their owm making,read the race instructions and information carefully arrive in good time use alternative facilities (not the ones at the start were everyone else is!)and bring your "designer" bin bag or old jumper to wear before the start.However I do take the point that foil blankets at the finish would be welcome!
The support arround the route was amazing especially the drummers very uplifting,thank you

In short: you must try this race if only for the scenery, beware of the "undulation" it can hurt !
In full: Nothing really new to report, more loos would be good but there is always a last minute rush
Why was there a problem gettig out ? Perhaps there needs to be a one way system or more signs to gain an alternative exit. However at great race well organised.
