In short: A fine way to start christmas celebrations
In full: Great organisations. Steepl hills, loads of mud, heaps of festive spirit. But it was hard work.

In short: A pb course if there is 'no' wind
In full: As usual an excellent race put on by 2:09. Definitely a pb course. But today was just too windy. The wind was certainly a challenge. But a great course, lots of space and excellent parking facilities. Nothing to complain about at all, just the wind. But hey last year I couldn't make it 'cause it was snowing.

In short: NO wind this year, fantastic
In full: A good race, sorry it will be in Sept next year, I will probably be on holiday. It can be windy in Sept too. Definitly a pb course. It was a bit icy in IBM park, but took care whilst on the icy patches. A well run race.

In short: A fast course
In full: I have a reservation over the accuracy of the course length. Garmin may not work well with so many loops and turns, but I would like it confirmed that we ran 10k. The location was a good one, no hassles. I quite liked being able to see other runners all the time, didn't miss scenery at all. I can understand there being no K markers, difficult when we ran around and around, BUT just one at 5k would have been good.

In short: great race. Definite pb course given right weather conditions.
In full: Great race despite the wind yet again. I preferred the start this year with the whole track free of cones. It made it much easier to negotiate and safer too. Would defo do it again.

In short: a very well run race. Organisation on the day was spot-on. Very friendly too.
In full: It is definitley an undulating race. But there are no actual hills, more long drags with some nice downhill sections. Nice countryside. Good support from locals along the way.

In short: definitely a pb course, but the weather was in charge today.
In full: I really enjoyed today's race in a perverse sort of way. I enjoyed the challenge of the heavy winds. A good well organised race.

In short: It is a must, if you have the chance. There are usually some high profile runners there.
In full: Always very well organised, well marshalled by people who give up their lunch break and who offer encouragement too. Has possibilities of being a speedy race.

In short: Well organised race which I would recommend to anybody, elite or beginner.
In full: Definitely pb material course providing that it isn't windy as it is quite flat countryside directly around the aerodrome. Pleasant countryside, good even surface to run on, I loved the music, Queen and Chariots of Fire to name a couple. Easy to park, plenty of loo's, the race was conducted with professionalism. I am not a beginner but I saw some beginners being cheered on by the Race Organiser. Chip start and finish is always a plus for me. Great medal and goody bag. Lots of peeps are saying it is flat as a pancake, well I thought it wasn't as there were some long slopes/drags which were run into the wind, but definitely no hills.
