In short: Very impressed with the organisation and support.
In full: A great way to see Bristol, a bit twisty on the second half and the last couple of miles seemed to go on for ever but having achieved a PB at an age when I thought new PBs were impossible I'm not complaining. Staggered starts were a great idea.

In short: A lovely race, good scenery, fast flat course, well organised.
In full: A new PB for me, which I had thought was totally out of reach so I loved this race and would throughly recommend it. Looking forward to next year.

In short: Well organised, very enjoyable race, excellent goody bag
In full: I had never done this race before although it is a local one for me but will definitely be back. I really liked the fact that it was nearly all on footpaths through the town with just enough hills to make it interesting. It also helped that the weather was perfect.

In short: Tough but well worth the effort
In full: A very hard race with long tough climbs but a great route and excellent organisation. A really amazing array of medal, memento and t-shirt made everyone feel as though they had won!. The opportunity for the free swim and breakfast afterwards was a nice touch.

In short: A truly memorable race
In full: A fantastic end to the season, I haven't enjoyed a race so much for ages. Great scenery and the right mix of flat and tough climbs to make it challenging but still enjoyable. Very well organised, the best parking space I have ever encountered. I will definitely be back next year.

In short: Well organised and a great memento. Lovely park but by the third lap the road section was losing its appeal.
