In short: Lots of hills and mid-summer timing means it's hot
In full: Lots of hills all the way through, and being in the middle of June means it's hot. However, most of the running is under trees and woods so a bit cooler and all the up hills are matched with nice long down hills. Great race, although posting numbers out rather than collection would be better.

In short: Nice course although no bag drop
In full: Weather was terrible but a really nice atmosphere. Hill climb was a little unexpected but you always get to run down. Disappointed there was no organised secure bag drop for such an open venue

In short: Very hot on the day and not enough water so slower runners went without.

In short: The hill was a bit of a challenge the third time round, but well spaced out. Only issue was water being handed out in paper cups
