In short: fair but not flat
In full: Nice race, great setting for the start. Hillier than I expected. Little niggle, cups are a pain in long runs. The finish was a little odd. Nice shirt.May be back.

In full: Great day to erase last years memories. The only niggle I had was the early water stops were a bit disorganised. Fabulous support. May be back for the half.

In short: A proper race
In full: A nicely organised event from parking up to leaving.Decent mix of estate and country. If I had a moan I cannot drink from cups whilst running. Pudding and nice momento and a lovely big pb to finish it off.

In short: expected the worst
In full: and got a flipping well organised "proper" race.I thught it a well organised and well marshalled race. The three lap race didn't phase me and the "uglier" areas didn't last a minute. If I had a niggle cups in marathons is a no go for me as I do not stop during a run. There was also one bottleneck on the first lap that apart I really enjoyed this race and will wear my hat with pride.

In short: 2nd attempt
In full: Having previously ran this and hated every minute I decided to give another go. This time I loved every minute. From my perspective, everything ran like clockwork, the bands were great, plenty of water supplies and the support brilant. Rip Kevin P

In short: 2012
In full: This is a mixed bag of a race-reasonable mixed course, nicely marshalled and has pb written all over it (please bear in mind the race distance is suspect). The goodie bag is decidely average, The reception from the moderate crowd was great and a big old pb for me and other club members. Now for the real negatives why is the race not chipped and 24 hours later I'm still waiting for the results. I have raced three times in KP events and twice they've got it wrong and the other time it didn't matter. In essence basically the race has potential but if you're OCD about your times, think twice.

In short: fair enough
In full: having ran the half last year I stepped it up to the full. 2nd lap was pretty uninspiring in my opinion. The support was thin on the ground but very very good. The course was hillier than I remembered. The run into West Park was brilliant. Goody bag/medal/t shirt was very good for the entry price. Back to the half next year.

In short: suits all plans
In full: fabulous race that ticks all boxes. If I had to pass a negative comment thought only some of the marshalls made an effort to support. Very very testing course first half especially. Loved it wish I had run another lap though.
