In short: Flat,but not very exciting
In full: Positives. Road Closures. Good for PB. Despite phoning two or three times to amemnd details, when I collected my number they had no number for me. Good job had my receipt.
Poor organisation. Not very well signposted to reception and start. Muddled start and not clearly marked. Poor atmosphere and not a great deal of local support. Marshalls good but not in great supply. This was a club championship run. We got some good times in the top ranks. Dont think we will come back though.

In short: A bit of a challenge
In full: Changed route for this year. Enjoyed it as it went places I had not been before. Good route. Mile markers need to be clearer. In some places were not correct. Marshalls were in good places,but more needed to keep us on right side of road. Cups of water are better than bottles. Need to know where results are. Thanks for good run.

In short: Nice scenic run with mild challenges and well organised
In full: Well organised. Good route. Some steady inclines, but good for those getting going. Well marshalled. Good value for money with a tech tee shirt and lots of homemade goodies! Am thinking of suggesting as one of our club runs next year. Well done. Thanks.

In short: Very bad organsiation
In full: I did not run this race but transported three runners. We lost our way...Parking was near the start but had to walk a long way to the park to leave luggage AND then go back to the start. No one around to direct people. Not well signposted. No one to tell people how to get to metro. Very limited catering faclities. Grass was a sea of mud along with changing tents and well the baggage tent was appauling and toilets not suffient. What a disapointment for runners at the end to have to experience these muddy dirty cold conditons after all the hard work they put in on such very very wet day. The runners said the course was good and well supported by the public and marshalls and good amount of refreshments. The end was orangnised and had some structure to it. A shame everything else let this race down particauly because of the price people paid to enter. Unless I know it is going to better next year I would not consider entering it. If organisers want to compete with London, get it right!!

In short: Excellent organisation
In full: THank you Robert town. Have been eyeing this up for several years and took the plunge. Yes it is hilly and hard in places. It is really well oragnised. Plenty of marshalls and saw us across dodgy roads and very supportive. Got a respecatable time and think I will be back next year. Thanks from one of Stadium Runners.

In full: Have done this three times now. Doesn't get any easier. Like the changes made..more water stations, re-vamped tech t-shirt, and of course the sponge station. Made me smile as i was slogging away.. Sponges are my favourite.. Put another on the course please?

In short: Very good run. Well organised. Scenic when not raining very hard!
In full: Well marshelled. Good amount of water points with sponges. Plenty of inclines to test you. Great shame about the weather today. Liked the off road and managed to knock 4mins of my PB. Thanks to those who stood in the rain to marshall and manage traffic.
