In short: round and round and round (and round)
In full: 4 laps and a bit, great until you had to pass someone due to the slope of the race track, however not too large a field to cause any problems. Great organisation and support from other runners. Registration hut a little walk to the start which caused a bit of a panic, but it was all fine. Very pleased all in all!!

In short: Repetitive
In full: Wasn't aiming for a time but had I been, then the number of people and the tight course in places made it hard to get past people. Great marshalls. It was terrible getting out of the car park at the end but great that there was so much free parking avaialble. As someone else mentioned, a banana or cereal bar at the end would have been really welcomed!

In short: Great refreshments, friendly marshalls and very welcoming.
In full: Was worried about getting lost on the course as it's self guided but thankfully there was always someone in front that I could see. Amazing cake at the end and energy bars along the route. I thoroughly enjoyed the race.

In short: hills and hoodie
In full: The best marshalls ever! The hills were quite tough but it was a very pretty place to run. More toilets at the start would definitely be appreciated as there were very long queues. The marshalls were fantastic and I now have another Oakley hoodie to wear all year.

In short: Amazing crowd support
In full: The best thing about the race was the support from the crowds, the cheers definitely got me round! Running by the sea was lovely. The hills were a challenge but not unmanageable. A great atmosphere!
