In short: Fast and flat, but a little dull round the airfield
In full: Definitely a potential PB course as it is pretty much flat and wide the whole way round. The airfield section (4-8k) can be a bit tricky in windy conditions as it is open and exposed, and also quite dull so you have to work hard to keep the motivation round there.

All in all a good race and definitley a PB course if the conditions are right.

In short: Gorgeous scenery, good fun
In full: Really enjoyed this race. Beautiful course and pretty well organised given the conditions and last minute changes. Plenty of water stations which was good. Flat, but not necessarily fast as off road most of the way and narrow in places.

Lovely race, hope it becomes a regular fixture

In full: Just superb. Yes it's a tough course but the atmosphere, scenery and organisation make it well worth the effort. A race organised by people who seem to want to make running about having fun

In short: Hills, yes, but well worth the effort.
In full: The clue is in the title...hilly yes, but a great race. Great views and well organised with well position drink stations and the bonus of the last 3 miles being downhill and flat(ish)
