In short: Absolutely wonderful day! Simply the best!
In full: Brilliant event, clockwork organisation, I will keep coming back again and again.
Only gripe is the handful of idiots who get right to the front and then set off at a snails pace or even walk from the start.

In short: Good event. Mainly well organised. Will do again!
In full: The event was good as usual with a very scenic double crossing of the Humber. Very hot this year making PBs nigh on impossible. Only complaint was the woeful lack of toilets at the start - 4 for 1500 runners plus spectators! What were they thinking of?

2008 Pickering & Moors 10K
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Great race. Well marshalled and signed, very friendly event.
In full: I enjoyed the race and will definitely do it again. It was well organised and had a very friendly feel to it. Quite a challenging over distance course (why not measure it properly and make it a real 10K - I'll never understand that?) but worth doing. Thought the key ring memento was a bit tight!!

2008 Yorkshire Wolds Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Great event - but very difficult course!
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed it again. Seemed even harder this year and I was 2 minutes slower! Same lack of direction at same point as last year (see my comments below) but I knew the way this time! Only serious issue for the organisers to sort for next year was the first drink station at 4 miles which was just being set up half an hour into the race - so no drinks till 6 miles plus. Still a nice event and I'll do it again.

2008 Humber Bridge Half Marathon

In short: Tough course, good organisation, looking forward to next year!
In full: Well organised race and good support on the course. Plenty of drink stations - but really need bottles to make it possible to take much on board. Killer hill at 9 miles and I'm sure the bridge is all uphill in both directions!! Overall a great race which I will do again next year. Thanks to all involved.
