In short: Nice course over closed roads but 40 minute late start less than ideal
In full: As a first time event there is a lot to be learnt by the organisers to ensure that runners can actually get to the event before the roads are closed. Well marshalled and plenty of encouragement around the course. Continued delays to the start time only made possible because it was sunny, likely to have been a riot if it had been cold and wet.

In short: A great run between from Warwick to Kenilworth
In full: The thunderstorm before the start and rain drenched roads didn't stop the roadside support all the way along the course. Must be wonderful on a dry day. Would certainly come back and run again.

In short: A Great Day out
In full: A great day out with an excellent course with an uphill finish to test that pb challenge. Tea, Cakes, a village fair and a good pub for afterwards.

In short: An enjoyable race over undulating roads
In full: The organisation for this annual event was impressive. Good signage, lots of marshalls where they were needed, impressive trphies (for those faster than me) and great support from the many roadside supporters.

In short: Great atmosphere and excellent crowds
In full: Shame that the allocation of start positions appears to be entirely random. Put down a 1hr 30 time and found myself starting from the back of white C. Spent first two miles passing thousands of slow runners/walkers so pobably added and extra half mile to the run in zig-zagging accross the road and pavements. I appreciate that lots are doing this run as a one of for charity but starting at the front and then having to walk after the first mile doesn't help the rest of us looking for a reasonable time!
