In short: Horrible conditions, great t-shirt!
In full: A good 2 lap course on various underfoot conditions that is helped by excellent organisation/marshalling and a simply brilliant t-shirt. Wind on the day made for a very challenging run!

In short: Really fun quick race
In full: Did the 1/2 marathon, the route is interesting with very little hills on route apart from the final uphill mile. support around the city and further out was good. Some of the marshalls could have been a bit more switched on though. Great t-shirt, long sleeves being a nice touch.

In short: Fast Course, but a bit hot!
In full: Really enjoyed this race for the 2nd year in succession. Great finish right in the centre of Newark with encouragement from a good sized crowd. Frequent water stations very much appreciated. The steep uphill leading up to the 10 mile mark comes as a bit of a surprise with the course being completely flat prior. Would be nice if the start could be a bit better, getting rid of the cars on either side of the street and loading the start from the back would prevent the overcrowding at the front. Overall though really good fun, will be back again next year.

In short: fast and flat
In full: 1st 10 mile race and first multi lap race having avoided them before. Pleasantly surprised on both counts. Friendly race and a nice change to have one on a Friday evening. Will be back next year.

In short: Fun but very hilly!
In full: Enjoyed it, really good atmosphere at the start and end of the race. Seemed like non stop hills, very satisfying to finish in a good-ish time. Feel fitter from having run the hills!

In short: First time done this race, will pencil it in for next year.
In full: Really well organised race. Conditions were great. Some challenging hills but still clocked a PB. The finish was very tight and short which was the only small downside. Overall very enjoyable.

In short: Excellent race, improved on last year.
In full: Really enjoyed this race, thought the course was an improvement on last year and for the half marathon there was a good mix of town and more rural settings. Thought the marshalls were very supportive and this helped spur me on to a pb. Will be back next year.
