In short: Great organisation and a scenic race too. In full: Despite the great low key feel to it, this race was very well organised and attracts some quality runners as well as plenty in fancy dress too. Even when the village hall's toilets were overwhelmed by the volume of runners using them, the organisers rapidly opened up the toilets in the pub. Fantastic support, not just in the main square that you run through 3 times, but also out on the course Date of review: December 28, 2011

In short: One of my all time favourite races- helped by a PB In full: Excellent marshals who encouraged us round. Lots of them seemed to be from the local clubs which always helps. Plenty of drinks stations in the right places. Great organisation too, from the race pack to the website to the day itself. The traffic controls are a godsend and made me feel much safer on crossing the roads. Please extend my thanks to the turkeys and geese at Peachcroft farm who cheered us on too (just don't mention Christmas to them!). Date of review: October 16, 2011

In short: Great race for a PB and a full goody bag In full: Well organised with friendly marshals, good support and one of the best commentators at a race I've heard. The worst bit is the narrow start but at least its chip timed so even that isn't too much of an issue. Date of review: May 11, 2011

In short: Very enjoyable race In full: Those 2 or 3 little hills probably prevent if being a PB course, although the long downhill at the end might make up for them. Very friendly marshals and plenty of them although I didn't get told to cross to the right side of the road by a marshal- just followed the crowd. An earlier post mentioned he thought the 7 and 8km markers were missing. I saw the 7 but not the 8km. Very welcome bacon butty at the end and the shoe bag will always be useful.

In short: Very scenic for a road race In full: Too many hills for a 10k PB but a very friendly well organised race with cheerful marshals. Nice mugs too at the end. Date of review: July 16, 2010
