In short: Fab way to spend a mid Summer evening
In full: Fantastic race again, well organised and very family friendly. Thankfully the weather was good. However,with the recent heavy rain made the course very slippy. A great race, see you in 2013 for my 4th Bolt!

In short: Lovely race in Warwickshire countryside
In full: This was the first time I ran the Arden 9. Having just done the Blakedown Bolt 2 days previously, it was a close call! Glad I did it, superb race, well organised, and nice distance too.

In short: Great scenic course, a water station would have been nice
In full: Enjoyed this one, all offroad, great countryside. No waterstations though which was only disappointment on a very warm sunday morning. Otherwise thoroughly recommend!

In short: Great scenic course, not good for PB, more water stations needed
In full: This was the first time I have done Bugatti. The arrangements were a little strange, park your car, then walk 1 mile to Race HQ for toilets, then walk back from where you came to the start line! Already done 3km before starting!
Good organisation overall, plenty of marshalls and very friendly race. Liked the beer and sandwich at the finish line.
Quite a tough course but very scenic, hilly in places, all on road.
One significant improvement would have been more water stations. 1st and only water station was 6km in, on one of hottest nights of the year I was really flagging at one point due to the heat.
Overall liked it and would definitely do it again.
