In short: Flat and fast, but rather exposed. Well organised and great atmosphere.
In full: Definite PB potential around this flat course on a good surface all the way round. Number of runners may slow you down a little but the atmosphere gained from all of this is well worth it and more than makes up for it. Organised like clockwork but more thought could be given to spectators and viewing access which would turn this into a great race rather than a good one.

In full: This is a 2 lap flat, quick road race. It is fairly well organised but dont expect many trimmings. The location is a small village so facilities are limited. A good turn out for it though with a nice mix of runners and an almost certain PB time, which may explain the poularity. One for next year.

In short: Very well organised friendly race for all standards.
In full: This race was very well organised, everything was run like clockwork even down to chip timing for all runners! The atmosphere was very friendly and despite the weather there was plenty going on for non runners alike. A good race for all abilities and well worht doing. The course is mildly undulating with no major hills and so fairly quick.

In short: Well organised and flat.
In full: This was a well run race with about 900 competitors of various abilities. The course was quick, no hills and mile markers all the way. Definitely PB potential here! Nice T Shirt (well as nice as they ever are). This race is worth doing and i will be there next year.

In short: Some lovely views and a good mix of abilities.
In full: This course is quite hilly but there are no majorly steep hils other than the leg to the finish and you run down that one! This event was well organised and set in some beutiful countryside that is if you can focus when you are breathing as hard as i was!!!! The 3 laps are excellent for spectators and for pacing yourself. The christmas pud is a nice touch and well deserved. All monies go directly to Cancer Research, even when you enter the chequeue is made payable directly to them so you can be guarenteed that no money is diverted elsewhere. Well worth doing.

In short: Quick multi terrain race without any major hills.
In full: Very well organised multi terrain race with a good mix of runners. Course is fairly flat with some road sections and a number of stiles to negotiate. Markers every mile, water station and official timing available on the day.

In short: Hilly cross country race in glorious location.
In full: A good race but dont expect a personal best the hills will see to that! Fairly well organised with a high entry fee - however it is for Charitee mate so no complaints there. Very friendly and a nice organised fun warm up. No official timing. Definitely worthwhile.
