In short: Nice change to road races, well organised
In full: There are a few mild undulations (eek!) and one of these is at the very end, so no sprint finish for me. Beautiful course, much nicer than pavements, good camaraderie among those of us nearer the back, well organised and marshaled. Don't expect a PB, but for a tenner, well worth doing.

In short: Hills hills hills. And sheep.
In full: Last year I said I wasn't doing it again, but I'm glad I came back. The uphill first half has some difficult climbs. I kept running but at times my steps were so small that I was barely going faster than the walkers. Great leg stretch of a race though, definitely worth waking up for. Relaxed organisation. Nice t-shirts.

In short: Flat quick course through nice scenery
In full: The flat course lets you zone out and just run. Few muddy patches on the day made it interesting, but mostly just get your stride on and go.

In short: Good fun and great atmosphere.
In full: Organisation was good, although I'd rather go on my chip time than the clock time the results are ranked by. Some gentle undulations but nothing really hilly. There were loads of supporters all the way around. Plus: Cranberry Sauce!
