In short: What a cracker of an event
In full: Thanks to all at Hogweed for staging and organising a really excellent event. Great atmosphere, superb marshals, great welcome at end with cakes and more, nice T shirt. Can't be faulted. Please keep doing it on the same day as Bath so you remain selective for the runners in the know.

In short: Great run.
In full: Thanks and well done to all concerned in organising this very enjoyable event. Even though there is a 21 mile long hill, it has PB potential as the hill is gently but steady. The last down hill was so long and steep my ears were popping due to the pressure change!

In short: A really nice event
In full: This is a good event and has a lot of positives: friendly marshals, great location, lovely (although rather challenging with some step ups and downs) course, good starting time on a Saturday morning.
There are few opportunities to improve, bit more organized at the start (use the megaphone to get the runners for each race to come forward for their start), some key points on the course would have benefited with a marshal, the floor was OK but did not really give direction, a couple of extra water stations would have been good.
Overall I really enjoyed it and will return for more

In short: Another excellent event. Only good things to say
In full: The event is now well established and goes from strength to strength. I hope it stays about the same size, a big enough event but flows well at start and finish. Well done to all organisers and support en route.

In full: This is a superb run, extremely challenging with some tough ups and downs, well organised great location, large choice of refreshments at the end in the tithe barn.
Well done Cheltenham, keep it exactly as it is, you have achieved perfection.
