In short: Superb Lymington
In full: Race was excellent, well organised and a very fast course, running on gravel made it slightly challenging. Smashed my PB and came in under 40mins, the first time for a 10k. Will do it next year as I should be living in the area by then, if not a good excuse to break off the house hunting.

In short: The organisers triumph again, well done.
In full: Suprisingly toughish race with some steep up and downhill sections which make this challenging. Love the course which is why I come back every year despite the travel distance to get to it. The organisation is like clockwork, marshalls and volunteers on the drinks stations are superb and are valuable unsung heroes who give up their own time to help. Keep up the good work, see you again next year.

In short: Excellent Race again this year
In full: Same sunny and warm conditions as last year, was nice to see the old lady out with her Union Jack flags supporting us again.

Mildly challenging hills and well marshalled with a brilliant momento at the finish, will certainly be back next year.

In short: Brill Event
In full: Was good to see my old mate again and run in a race to raise him and Phil some much needed funds to keep them running. Thanks to ALL the marshalls who without them volunteering to help this event would never of happened. The organisation was superb, thanks also to the guy announcing everyones name at the finish area, can't believe he managed to do it 3 times for everyone. Shame about the weather being soooo cold and the wicked wind on the far part of the course that took my breath away in places.
Will be adding this to my list of races for next year.

In short: Good race
In full: Good potential for a PB here, great atmos and good for the beginner but I find these city races boring, sorry but I prefer to run a course with hills and scenery not mainly houses and through estates.

In short: Wow a PB
In full: What can I say but this race is hard as nails, anyone thinking this is easy will be in for a shock. Saying that I love this course, its hard, scenic, weather was perfect, organisation was brilliant .... plus I ran a PB for this course of over 3mins compared with last year. Came in 2nd MV50 and got a prize as well, see you all next year.

In short: Another well organised Newark HM
In full: Another year of good organisation for this race, water stations were plentiful and sponges were located where needed. The weather was even warm and dry for a well organised race.

In short: Another year running a good course
In full: As expected a good course which winds around the paths and roads in MK. Love the course myself with plenty of support all the way round. Was aiming for a sub 90min half and did it. Weather was perfect as its been for the previous 2 years and was a shame it was over when the finish line appeared. The organisers can take a pat on the back for a well run race.

In short: Enjoyable but slightly undulating race
In full: Loved the venue and views at one point over the valley, shame that the mix up with the start making us run a circuit of the field instead of straight out onto the road made the mile markers incorrect, but it happened. A good venue with well organised marshalls and water stations and the goody bag was ok, nice touch with the free hot drink at the end, will be back next year.

In short: Thats one hard one out the way
In full: Race went like clockwork again this year as the organisation was superb, hats off to the organisers. Would prefer this not to be so hard but to make an omlette you have to break a few eggs. The girls between 4 an 5k were their bubbly selves again this year and the loud music was a boost on the way back, not the place to start walking even though your legs were screaming at you. Big plus was no high wind at the school this year.
