In short: Badly organised start, but pleasant - if quite hilly - country lanes after the first half mile
In full: The start was badly organised, it was unclear where the start line was or even which direction we would be starting. The first 600m is along a narrow footpath / roadside verge and given the mixture of club and fun runners this made it very difficult to get going and I was forced to jog for the first half mile. After that the race is on pleasant country lanes with a few challenging hills. The event HQ was reasonably spacious with plentiful refreshments, although I thought that £1 for a cup of tea or coffee was a bit pricey. I also think that for a £15 entry fee (£13 for club runners) the organisers could have provided more than a medal.

In short: Very well organised race along quiet country roads. PB potential if you don't mind the odd short hill
