In short: Good race but just too expensive - and even more next year!
In full: I travelled by train which went very smoothly. I was in Orange wave A which gave me a fairly clear run. This is my 4th GSR but I'm not sure if I will do next year. £36 is a lot for what you get.

In short: Normally not a fan of laps but I do enjoy this race.
In full: A well organised race, especially as far as traffic control. A pretty quick course despite the mild undulations. Always one for my diary.

In short: Combined with the zoo makes this race special.
In full: An undulating route but at least most of the ups are in the first half. Expertly organized. The whole event has a great atmosphere. Despite the hills a good race for 10k first timers.

In short: As usual a well organized and slick event.
In full: This race is a fixture in my racing schedule. Good for the quicker runners and an ideal build up race for first time marathoners. Well organized and marshalled. Probably reaching its numbers limit. I know it's nothing to do with the race organizers but it was a shame the toilets in the car park were locked this year.

In short: As usual a well organized and fast race. Can't understand why the only toilets with urinals were women only!

In short: A very well organised event for such a large field.
In full: Good weather and a well organised event made for a very good day. I was in the first wave and was able to run freely all around the course. As last year, some of the mile markers were a bit misplaced resulting in very erratic split times.
