In short: Great race. Not to be missed
In full: Fantastic race. Small enough to feel part of a running community and large enough to be part of something big. With a stadium finish to round it off.

In short: Fantastic scenery, great organisation, very friendly but those hills are hurting now.
In full: Mix of trails, footpaths and a few road sections. Don't remember any of it being flat. A hard race but worth it for the views and support. No chance of a PB. Fantastic day for family and supporters with fun runs, activities and wine tours.

In short: Mixture of park, road and short trail with a few hills.
In full: Great one to bring the family too. Bouncy castle, fun fair rides, cafe and public transport. Course is fun. Jelly babies at the bottom of a hill on mile five were a nice touch.

In short: Hilly, challenging but fun. Lots of support along country lanes.
In full: Feels much longer than a half due to the hills. Not many flat or easy stretches here. No traffic and plenty of support along the way make up for that. Ice lolly at the end takes away the pains.

In short: A real thigh buster
In full: All on park pathways with a couple of pinch points. Plenty of ups and downs to test the stamnina. Not much about the charity, not even mentioned by the loud PA.

In short: Not as flat as you think. Quite a few slopes and even speed bumps along the route. Very good support from the crowd and stewards excellent.

In short: Roller coaster ride through parks, roads and off road trails. Very hilly so no chance of a PB. Great fun
