In short: Stunning location, and nice challenging course
In full: Strange to start a race passing ostriches and tapirs! Lovely rural course with plenty of hills in the first half. Excellent marshalling, and a real feeling of occasion. Very hot day made this harder than I'd expected.

In short: Beautifully organised - great race
In full: Really fun event blessed with good weather. It ruthlessly exposed by under preparedness though. 26 minutes shy of my PB, because my legs fell off after a fast first half.

In full: This is the best organised race I've run so far. Masses of marshals, no missing mile markers, great signage and directions from the marshals. Plenty of water stops. Superb. Fairly scenic too, nice country villages, some riverside running, and I've never seen a Turkey farm before!
