In short: A bit boring but a good run. Took ages to get out of the carpark though and get into it!

In short: Glorious!
In full: I loved this race - I tried to run it last year but it was cancelled due to foot and mouth but it was worth the wait. Not at all boring as the multi-terrain kept your focus. Friendly marshalls. I'll be back next year with a picnic basket!

In short: Missed the start...
In full: I applied online for this race and didn't receive any information in advance which seemed a bit strange but as a fairly experienced race runner I checked Runner's World for the start time and the location and thought this would be enough... alas not. I arrived at the college in good time but as I could find no signs from the entrance directing to the race HQ, I carried on trying to find it. Just as I was about to give up and go home I met three other runners who also had missed the start due to lack of signage and we set off to join the race halfway through. We eventually found the race an hour after the start and run about 5 miles (not including the 2 miles I ran trying to find it). I don't think I'll be running this again because it came across so disorganised which is a shame as its fairly local.

In short: Where exactly was the start?
In full: Confusing start and lack of pre-event information must have made it confusing for beginners as I didn't hear a gun/countdown. Good race though and loved the puddles!

In short: Very very very hot!
In full: Nice flat race but no hills to catch your breath on. I was after a PB but due to the heat and the extra length didn't not quite manage it. Well worth it though to tell everyone that you ran the Top Gear track!!
