In short: more undulating than flat but a pleasant race on what turned out to be a pleasant day
In full: First time I've ever done Stroud and it was rather enjoyable. The marshals were pleasant and there was a fair bit of support from the local people. Lovely scenery, especially in the first few miles. The industrial loop at around mile 9 is a bit of a killer as there's no support and grim scenery. Thanks to the man on the mobility scooter with a MASSIVE bucket of jelly babies at mile 10.5. My only real criticism is that there was no snack at the end. I'd rather have had a banana or a cereal bar than a t-shirt. Overall though it's a good race and I'd recommend it.

In short: its description as being "undulating" must be tongue in cheek. The up hill was difficult, but the views were lovely and the down hill stretch allows you to catch up on time.

In short: a bit repetative due to the last minute change in route but pleasant enough.
In full: Maybe one of the friendliest runs I've done. Lots of lovely, helpful runners and definite PB potential :-D
