In short: Excellent course - one of my favourite halves
In full: Really loved this race - first time I've done it - loved the fact you could break it down into four sections mentally. Scenery was good; organisation brilliant; PA man was excellent also - car park very well placed for race; and lots of portaloos - hooray! Marshals friendly and helpful. All in all, one of my favourites - thanks very much - will be back next year.

In short: Lovely, pretty, fast, flat run
In full: First time at this race and really loved it - very pretty, very flat, very welcoming. My only criticism would be to have bottles of water rather than cups but apart from that, brilliant organisation - thanks.

In short: Beautiful, varied, challenging race - love it.
In full: Did this race last year and loved it and this year it did not disappoint - really love it - especially with the course changes - albeit it was probably an even harder course. My only criticism would be that marshals were lacking in a couple of critical places, and the third mile marker was way off, but other than that, loved it.

In short: Not bad - better organised than last year
In full: Good race, although the late route changes took away the normal PB potential as lots more twists and turns. More marshals needed in the park area near the end as there was confusion as to where the route was meant to go. All in all, better organised than last year with the finish being in a better place.

In short: A quick, flat course with PB potential.
In full: A bit disappointed with sign posting on arrival at the start. Joined a small posse of other runners looking for toilets and race HQ. The course around the town could have done with a few more marshalls but that said, a good course ideal for first timers and a PB.

In short: Good - but why were the pace bands at the finish?
In full: Good race but the organisation pre race was a not great. Too many people crammed into the baggage hall and not enough organisation - and why were the Lucozade pacing bands not at the start of the race? Good race, would do it again, excellent PB potential. Thanks.

In short: Excellent race - really challenging - those hills!!!
In full: Really enjoyed the race - the hills seemed to go on forever with not many rewarding down hills. A real challenge - really liked it. Lovely country lane race. The organisation was really good too, thanks.
