In short: Great flat course ... huge PB potential
In full: Good organisation, but could do with slightly better road signage to the HQ. Typical fenland course - flat but a bit blustery. This is the one to do if you want a PB - I got one! Liked the idea of beer as a finishing prize ... all that was missing was a bottle opener ;o)

In short: Nice course, well run, would recommend it
In full: Flat course, but uneven in places. Not classic PB potential. Not convinced of the accuracy of the course measurement. Very friendly marshalls. Well run race - great effort :-)

In short: Well organised and mildly undulating
In full: Not as hilly as I'd remembered but still a challenging last 3km. Disappointing delay at start, but marshals did try to inform runners.

In short: Pleasant rural route with helpful marshalls. Nice running top.
In full: The course is slightly undulating, but nothing too taxing. The downhill parts feel as if the outweigh the uphill bits. Marshalls are very friendly and helpful. Exceptionally well organised. If you want to run this one you MUST get in early or you'll miss out. Great long sleeved technical running top. Highly recommended race.

In short: Slick organisation, good course, but heavy traffic in places
In full: The course is slightly undulating although none of the climbs are really taxing. Fairly difficult stretch from about 7 to 9K, but great downhill finish. Some roads are heavily trafficked, which is a little unnerving. Very good PB. Nice technical running top. Would definitely do it again.

In short: Interesting and challenging
In full: Tough last 3km, but nice downhill at the end.
Well organised, but could do with more toilets. Great choice of drinks, plus banana at the end - very welcome. Virtually all roads were open to traffic, but so well marshalled it wasn't a problem.

In short: Great race ... good fun ... but that last 1km!!!
In full: This was my first race since taking up running 5 months ago and intended as a warm-up for Silverstone half-marathon. Really enjoyed it and was well set for sub-1 hour, but that hill in the last 1km is punishing and combined with traffic and people congestion towards the end meant 60:11 !!!
