In short: great for PB potential
In full: Well organised and did not suffer any issues pre start. First mile a little narrow but did not mind 2 lap course. Slight concern about limited access to baggage at finish. Car park great location to hobble back to. Loved finishing in the broadway area. Felt special and well supported

In short: very well organised and mildly challenging but fair
In full: liked the organisation, facilities, well mashalled (thank you), and course not as tough as profile suggested. Managed fastest time for over 20 years so does have PB potential

In short: great event but spoilt by bag fiasco at the end
In full: a fair course although a little slippery in places and a mild climb during the last mile. Coud improve bag collection (long queue) at the beginning and the collection of bag at the end of the event a disaster, especially for those in just a running vest!!

In short: Great atmosphere and very well organised
In full: Defintely a trail run and overtaking an issue at beginning and end but very well organised with enough facilities and right sort of refreshments at end. Need to watch footing in places so not necessarily a PB run

In short: needs a new start but otherwise very well organised event
In full: Very fair course with some tight turns but varied scenary. Start a little tight and confusing (where was the line?). Not sure about the chip timing unless at the very front. Well marshalled and very friendly atmosphere. Would def do it again

In short: undulating course and well marshalled - loved the water/mars bar
In full: Found directions to car park easy to follow as first time to area. two lap course which is a downer especially that last hill but knew that before I entered. Course provides plenty of cover for when hot. Yes there was sunshine. Could do with one more drinks station as 12 felt too late. finish good especially for spectators. loved the practical "goody bag" of mars bar plus plentiful supply of water. Medal good as well. Thanks to all the volunteers.
