In short: Average race with a mix of road running as well as towpath running
In full: The route was ok (mix of road and off road along the towpath). The route could have been better if you didn't have to run past runners coming back past you. The medal was cheap rubbish, considering the entry price. Overall a very average race.

In short: Very hilly. Works the legs though
In full: The course is very hilly, and it makes it a difficult course to get a PB. Great to use as a hill training session if you don't have hills near you.

In short: Fantastic hill at the start. After that its plain sailing
In full: I thought the hill at the beginning was great. Got the legs working. After that it was flat and the last KM was all downhill and pure speed. Nice scenic route and also fine weather to top it all off. Definately be back for this one.

In short: Great PB Potential
In full: Overall a great race to run. Made for beginners as well as seasoned runners. Great medal and goody bag. T-Shirt is a good one. Water is the only gripe. Half the size of bottle is needed to prevent waste. On a positive note, enough water on a hot day.
