In short: A great race.
In full: Just wanted to pick out the marshals for special praise: some of the best marshalling I have seen, not just in terms of encouragement and support but handling some tricky traffic crossings efficiently and confidently. Thanks to each and every one of you - much appreciated.

In short: My favourite run of the year.
In full: Absolutely superb. Fantastic value and organisation. Refreshments have to be seen to be believed. No worthless goody bag at the end; just a certificate and as much apple crumble as you can eat.
Cannot recommend this run highly enough. Huge thanks to Chris Thompson and the people of Seagrave.

In short: Superb
In full: Very tough in places, but no complaints; the clue is in the name.

Fantastic marshals - friendly and supportive.

Small crowds out and about, but very vocal and supportive. Loved the gang of girls at Windrush.

Somehow managed a PB! The training must be working.

Will be back next year. Well done Bourton Road Runners.

In short: Very good, great way to spend a Sunday morning.
In full: This is a very enjoyable race. The course is pretty and fairly flat. Four drinks stations were appreciated on this scorching day.

A megaphone is needed to give out instructions at the start - I haven't a clue what was being shouted out before we started.

Hope the lady who collapsed 200m from the end was OK.

See you next year.

In full: Fairly tricky, undulating course on a very hot day. Organisation very good, and the traffic-free course is a bonus. Well done Northbrook.

In short: A fun morning
In full: Something for everyone, a real family occasion. Maybe not best suited to your real hard-nosed, super-serious PB-hunter, but a good race for us mere mortals. Organisation was excellent. Normally I would agree that £12 is a bit steep just for a certificate, but given that the aim was to raise money for charity (as opposed to spending it on medals etc.) I don't think people can have any complaints. I'll be back next year.
