In short: Low key but big hearted.
In full: No timing or results but a great run through the Lancs countryside for a worthy cause. Very well organised and supported. Good venue. Extremely friendly and relaxed. First time I've seen barm cakes at water stations! But they were for those who chose the walk option I'm sure. Thanks for a good run.

In short: Excellent race.
In full: Big praise to organisers and local people who were incredibly supportive - unlike anything I've seen in other races. Thank you to the lady at mile 12.5 when I was dragging myself up that mean hill who was incredibly encouraging, shouting out my name (numbers were personalised) and really spurring me on. Extremely well organised with plenty of everything - parking, loos, water stations, timimg mats and good feeling. Great tshirt too and massive medal. Very thoughtfully planned. Hopefully my legs will return to normal soon. and I'll be ready for that hill next year!

In full: Many many thanks to all who spent their time planning this great race. It was a really positive day with a friendly atmosphere, very well organized, super marshalls who despite long periods of standing around on a rather raw day, were so encouraging and informative. Lovely and flat too on mostly closed roads which made for a fast pace. Amazing goody bag with teeshirt and medal amongst other things! Thanks very much - I really enjoyed it.

In full: Great way to spend a Sunday morning - well organized and friendly atmosphere, brilliant marshalls, interesting trail route with a couple of hills to liven it up! Special thanks to the runner who had already finished but whose encouragement helped me tackle the last hill at the end. Thank you to Belle Vue racers for an enjoyable morning (and the jaffa cakes at the end!).

In short: Great course around the impressive city sights and parkland of Liverpool
In full: I'd agree with the comments about organization pre and post race. It was just sheer numbers I suppose with the added complication of major roadworks into the city. Definitely a good idea to park in a centre car park and walk on to the waterfront. Thanks to the Hilton Hotel for the use of their loos for me and a lot of runners - better than a porterloo!
I was disapointed that I couldn't get to the 2 hour pacer because of the crush at the start. Had to get past spectators and around barriers to join in with the race. Next time I'll set off earlier!
Improved on my last half time by 13 mins though.
Great atmosphere, loved the tshirt and medal and thanks to all the marshalls, organizers and spectators who really helped me along.

In full: Good road run, great marshalls, friendly welcoming atmosphere and a gravy bone in the goody bag!(the posh tee shirt was good too). What more could you ask for. An excellent race, really enjoyed it.

In full: Really well organized, informal and friendly charity race with free drink and sandwich at the pub at the end! Slight incline when running from trail to canal path, but otherwise flat and traffic free. Enjoyable run!
