In short: Disappointing course.
In full: As I was on holiday from the Fens I was expecting a scenic route. Unfortunately this did not materialise which was disappointing and we had to go round twice, which included the 'big' hill - hard for someone from the flatlands! Nice momento though.

In short: Mix of surfaces made it interesting.
In full: The course started and finished on grass but included roads and hardcore surfaces. A few ups-and-downs but quite plesant.

In short: Better course this year, more support. Well done.
In full: The revised course was better than last year's, and going out along the river was a challenge (into a stiff breeze). The event had grown as well with more stalls etc and a better atmosphere. Well done everyone involved.

In short: Apart from the start and a slope nearing the end, it is a flat face course. Good for beginners.
In full: Second year I've run this and the organisation was as good as ever. The Scottish piper gave everyone a boost at the start and encouragement from the top of the slope near the end. You could hear him a good half-mile away across the fen. Nice touch!

In short: Half-urban, half-countryside run. Reasonably flat with a few gentle slopes. Not too hard for a beginner.

In short: Hot weather made it tough-ish for a beginner like me.
In full: The hot weather made this a bit of a gruelling race for beginners like me. The long slow slope after 2K on the way out didn't help either. Lots of hot red faces at the end. Nice medal though.
