In short: Pack your wellies and climbing ropes!
In full: Terrible conditions almost a foot deep in places, water streaming down the hills. Although well organised and dedicated Marshalls despite the horrible conditions. I had heard it was hilly but up and down like a yoyo a real challenge!

In short: Good, super quick but pricey
In full: Think most has been said already about this. Well supported quick course but as mentioned a lot of money for a 10m probably due to its commercial appeal being on tv etc.
Although I do agree with a few being in the wrong areas although after a mile I had space and can't really blame the officials if people are a little too optimistic with projected times!
On the plus a big pb by 4 mins! I was flying :)

In short: Quick good opportunity for pb excellent scenery!
In full: Better route than last year, quick and good start location. Small point but seemed a bit tight as only a banana given at the end.

In short: Really good and well organised although very hot!
In full: Excellent organisation good atmosphere very scenic and well priced. Small improvement not allowed dogs near the start finish area provided they are on a lead what's the problem? Although may be a school restriction rather than the organisers.
Well catered for in the heat
