In short: Good organisation, loads of water stations, felt exposed running on main roads which were not closed.
In full: A good race and very well organised. Friendly considering the number of runners. It is a shame that it is run at this time of year, it is always too hot. I also do not like running for such a long time on the busy Watling Street road. There is little shade and the cars are very fast with little protection for runners.

In short: More of a cross country than I was expecting, very muddy and several choke points on course
In full: Having a bridge that only two people can cross 700m into the race created a massive choke point which you had to wait quite a while to cross. It was like having two starts... You wont get a PB onb this course unless you are in the first group to cross. Very nice race otherwise.

In short: Excellent and well thought out couse. Baggage and parking not good.
In full: Was suprised how pleasant the route was. Very well thought out it keep runners in the shade as much as possible. This was much appreciated on a hot day. Some interesting hils. Everybody was very friendly and there was an excellent family atmosphere. Parking was tricky and baggage was pretty much unsecured.
