In short: I come back every year - fantastic race
In full: Must say though that the start was a disaster, got down there in what would have been plenty time in previous years and just got stuck getting to the start pens. Once started a lot of people had put unrealistic times down and it took a lot of sideways running to pass "fun-run" groups of people running next to each other in the 1:40 section.

In short: If you pay for a 10km race, you want 10km, not 9.2km
In full: Priory park is a beautiful setting and a great place to run. The course was 4 laps of the park and it had rained the previous day so very muddy. The race was well marshalled but the major disappointment was the fact it was not 10km! My wife is very upset as she was watching her distance and aiming to pick up the pace towards the end but the finish line appeared early. I see someone on the forum has also measured a route short. That really needs resolving for next year.

In short: Fantastic weekly 5km timetrial, the best things in life are free.
In full: Had heard about this timetrial through the running club. Its free and run by volunteers. Great website with all your times and stats as well as photographs.

In short: Great training run for Paris!
In full: A very wet day and we got lost on the way there arriving 20 minutes late. But very helpful marshalls pointed us in the right direction. Good mix of runners, many using it as a training run for London, Paris or Edinburgh. Great enthusiastic watering points with plenty water and orange juice. Lots of toilet options at the end and a great cup of tea and piece of cake for £1!

In short: Well organised race, good weather, few hills to challenge
In full: My first half marathon and it was very well organised. The website and race pack had good information in it. The shuttle busses were excellent. Had a great run, watering tables very good.

In short: A great half marathon with potential for a good time. The uneven terrain made for a more challenging race than expected
In full: Number one grumble was the lack of toilets. Thankfully managed to find the pub one prior to the start, however the location of this wasn't defined on PP instructions which laid added pressure on runners before the race. A huge shame that some selfish people took it upon themselves to steal the water provided at the 3 mile mark but other than that a good friendly event.

In short: Again a well organised race, great conditions.
In full: Did this last year and really enjoyed it. Did my PB for the distance last year. This year having not trained must I still did a great time. The weather was very running friendly and the marshalls very friendly. Would definately recommend this to all levels of runners.

In short: good 10km, bit of a late start means lots of traffic, pb potential, but expensive
