In short: Great organisation. Challenging course with a fair few hills. Marshalls were great, as were the people manning the drinks and jelly baby stations. The wind made it a bit more challenging this year. I' hope to be back next year.

In short: A race of two halfs. The first half is around the city, with a few hills, the secon half is around Holme Pierrepont and is flat. Seemed to be more supporters in the second half this year. The marshalls, st johns and drinks station people were great.
