In short: Great scenary and challenging course.
In full: The first 4-5 miles are quite hilly, before becoming more flat / undulating.
Would look to do again in the future.

In short: Excellent well organised race.
In full: Third year of participation in this run, and it has formed the backstop of my running calander.
I thoroughly recommend this friendly city run to beginners and experienced runners alike.
Great support on route, and excellent PB potential.

In short: Thoroughly enjoyable run. Largely flat course, makeing for good PB potential
In full: Overall an enjoyable and well organised event. Good beginner friendliness and PB potential.
I felt a few more marshals were needed around the start of the 2nd leg. To support traffic management and general directions

In short: Enjoyable race with definite PB potential
In full: After a bit of a bumbling start the race was very well organised, and supported. The course would suit the beginner and seasoned runner alike.
The start and finish of the run in set in the pictureque market square which adds to the atmosphere of the event.
Plenty of water stations en-route which helped in the hot sun.
This is the second year in a row on running this race. I fully expect to participate again next year.

In short: Well organised challenging race. Very Undulating.
In full: Fortunately with the early start (09:30) the temperature was quite cool and perfect for running. On a hot day this race would have been unbearable with all the hills.
Don't bank on a PB for this run.
Good all round organisation with other fun run activities going on as well. The only frustration was the apparant lack of decent signage from the motorway to the event.
Nice T-shirt and 'interesting' goody bag. Crisps, drink and fruit are welcome. Random bathroom accessories, somewhat questionable.
See you next year !

In short: Excellent race.
In full: Completed this for the second year running, and this is by far the hardest race in my calander. Don't expect a PB, just a very challegning, well organised and support run.
