In short: Well organised race with good marshalling
In full: I have done this several times and will still keep doing it. The tee-shirt was excellent, ideal for those dark winter runs.
Shame that so many people ignore the estimated finishing times when they line up, it took me some time to weave throught the (much) slower people that started ahead of me.

In short: Well organised, great race for beginners.
In full: Nothing to say that's bad about this race, will continue to do it each year. Very flat, fast, and well organised. Tee-Shirt, drink and cake at the end. Very good value, should be better supported.

In short: Well organised, easy hills
In full: Well organised, except the long que for the numbers and chips,we got there early so had no problem. Lots of marshalls, encouragement from some, no doubt runners themselves, but a lot were silent. Easy hills, both up & down.

In short: Chip timed but no starter mat to run over, did not know when to start my watch, therefore my whole race timing was out.
