In short: Definitely hilly!
In full: The uphills seemed worse than I thought,but managed to attack the downhills to get a new pb! Good well organised race, didn't seem crowded at all. Could do with better signing for the race start/car parks. Also, not sure where the free car parks referred to in the paperwork were - had to pay in the station car park.
Still, good day out though!!

In short: Organisation much improved, although still problems getting into the running section. Once there though didn't have to overtake walkers this year!

In short: Not as hilly as anticipated. Goody bag disappointing
In full: Minor complaints about pre-race organisation - parking not well signed posted and car park closed leading to huge queues. Other than that, race well organised. Public support slightly lacking in town bit.
