In short: a underrated and under advertised event, well organised greta scenery and friendly marshalls
In full: first time doing this event, seen it for a couple of years, well organised, great marshalls,bussed to the start, drink stations well manned, plenty of direction arrows,if you followed the instruction not a lot of chance of going off course. disappointed with a medal at the end, a tee shirt gives an event a lot more publicity and credence and this is what this event needs, keep it special

In short: a flat rural course
In full: a good and for me local event spoilt by only 2 things
1.no water at the finish (unless you got a goody bag)
2.no goody bag at the finish because you entered "too late" not told this at registration, your number had a green star on it. How can they do this?

In short: well marked out course , friendly marshalls, car parking at the start/finish was "find somewhere" would have been nice to have had someone directing you to available spots as its the last thing you need when its your 1st visit

In short: good overall event
In full: good race done it many times before , but its a lottery to enter ( we entered as soon as the entry form came online in October)
the out and back course is flat but not inspiring couldn't fault the marshalls plenty of them and really friendly cheering all on despited them standing around in the chilly weather for hours
well done
