In short: Well organised and fab medal!
In full: Plus : This is how races should be organised .. quick and easy on-the-day entry, prompt start, good marshalling, accurate mile markers, PB potential course, jelly babies, water and gels during the race, fantastic large bespoke medal, chocolate, plenty of water supplies, a DJ and the option of a well-deserved leg massage ..

Minus : No iPods/MP3s allowed .. sensible and considerate use of one should be the decision of the runner.

Plastic cups at the water stations ..

I would definitely run this race again!

In short: Good course, but questionable course length, pricey entry and cheap medal :(
In full: Yes, entry-on-the day will always be a little higher, but please .. for £25, the medal is a joke.

Granted, we don't run these races just for the medal, but would a bespoke medal really be out of the budget of the organisers? I doubt it.

Coupled with the lack of water at the finish, thi year was very disappointing.

In short: Nice race, though questionable course measurement
In full: Fairly well-organised race, though slightly late starting (2 minutes is a long time to wait in the cold) and a Garmin read of 5.98 miles (about 371 metres short of a 10K). A shame, as I would've been very close to my PB had it been actually 10K. I wanted to run the Nonsuch 10K this Sunday, but now undecided :/
