In short: hard work, but fun!
In full: An enjoyable race in horrible weather. Organised well enough, friendly marshalls (especially at marker 1, 6 and 11k)....although the last k was a bit long...nice to have it confirmed on here that it was longet that advertised. All in all, a good race...will do it again next year.

In short: One of my favourite races of the year
In full: Great event - wonderfully organised, great atmosphere - a little pricey - but it is only once a year and the scenary (espceially the first 6 miles) rivals any city in the world!

In short: Well organised race, flat course
In full: Enjoyable 16 miler (although I did n't think that after 13 miles!!!). Well organised, good marshalls, milage markers good...also helpful wrist bands to assist PB potential. Nice atmosphere, nice location. Overall,thanks to all concerned and I will be back next year...

In short: PB potential, 5 laps gets boring, nice atmosphere
In full: Good points: Well organised, flat course and lap-based means good PB potential. Milage markers acurate. Marshalls encouraging...nice friendly atmosphere. Bad points: agreed with what has been said previously, 5 laps is too much and gets boring, otherwise, fun...if you can say that about running 10 miles!

In short: The weather didn't spoil a good workout!
In full: second time doing this race so i was prepared for the hill at 5-6k. Quit enjoyable, well done to the marshall - agree with the comment about having sides to the tents...might have keep us a bit dry pre and post race.
Not one for a PB (due to the hill)...but an enjoyable run!

In short: A good first run of the year to blow away the cobwebs!
In full: My first time at non such park - but not my last. The small number meant that there was n't much of an atmosphere...but that also meant it wasn't over crowded nd you could run at your own pace. It was 50/50 tarmac and grass...and muddy in places...but its February - not July!
Overall - I enjoyed it and because it was laps, it allowed me to better judge my race pace.
Thanks to all inivolved.
