In short: Well organised - from Parking to T-Shirt!
In full: Great day - something for the whole family - mine took advantage of every event! The kiddies caper was the best kids race I've come across - the Hedgehog, Dog and Banana did great jobs keeping the kids going - thanks lads! The half-marathon was very well organised, marshalled and supported all the way round - thanks to everyone for your efforts in the damp weather! Great quality t.shirt.

In short: A great little Half-Marathon
In full: This was my second time and I enjoyed it as much as the first. Well organised, well marshalled, good, moderately flat course through some nice villages.
Bonus 'feature' - watching the parachutists drop when you run past the airfield.

In short: Very pretty route - flat apart from one big hill
In full: My first time at this 10k. Thoroughly enjoyed it - very pretty scenery, great marshalls - very encouraging. Shame about the 'mayhem' at the finish for those coming in at 45 mins to 1hr - very congested. Nice goody bag with medal and T.shirt. Good value for money

In short: Mud, Mud and More MUD!!
In full: I did the 15 mile 'Challenge' and what a 'Challenge' it was!! After the persistent rain of the previous few days, in places it was like running through a hippo's hollow!! Got lost, but I think that's part of the fun! Great camaradare amongst all the runners and walkers. Fantastic cakes and flapjacks at the Check Points - good tea/coffee too. Plentiful puds at the finish. All in all well worth the entrance fee. !!BEWARE - you are likely to put weight ON during this race!!!

In short: Another good, well organised event.
In full: Agree with most others reference the minimal local support - it is a shame. Also disappointing that no Tshirt this year - funnily enough the year the race gets a Gold standard!! Ideal running weather though and lots of supportive marshalls - well done lads and lassies! The course is much improved - some of it even 'scenic'!!

In short: Excellent way to finish the Year
In full: Great format - the handicapping system works really well and gives slower runners the chance to be in amongst the 'pros' at the end.

In short: Great little race
In full: My second entry to this event. As last year, well organised and friendly. Plenty of drink stations and support around the course (the locals make the effort). The commentator at the finish does his best to identify you and shout you in. Will be back next year.

In short: 10miles of HILLS !!!
In full: Very hilly,and extremely windy but still enjoyable. Marshalls were friendly and encouraging, plenty of water stations and a sponge station. Well marked course - ample parking at the start. A medal would've been nice.
