In short: quick but a little twisty. Well organised.
In full: Well marshalled course and needed to be with all the switchbacks. That said a fast course in a good largely traffic free location. Fluids including SIS Electrolyte available at the end. Coffee and cakes back at the clubhouse were excellent.
NICE !!!!!!!!!!

2008 Boxing Day 5K

In short: A great race, well organised and brilliant for this time of the year.
In full: A better marker at the finish would be nice. A challenging climb which you get to do 3 times soon sorts out the over keen. Only issue this year IPODS. I hate to mention them but in a 3 lap twisty 5km it can be very frustrating trying to get past people who swerve and don't here you asking for the fast line.
See you next year :¬)

In short: Varied course with good marshalling and mince pies
In full: Well run race with excellent facilities and good marshals. The only downside for me was the presentation. It was well done but took a little while to organise so quite a few people had left. Great race though and will be back next year.

In short: Well run with good marshalls and food.
In full: 2nd year of doing this and it is obvious that it is very well planned. Brilliant race and even the weather was ok.

In short: Terrible new course
In full: Bottle necks, switchbacks, lumpy narrow pavement. Pure naff but probably fast. That and some great marshalling are the only good things but probably not good enough to make me bother with it again.
Oh, the Hovercrafts were cool.

In short: Hot on a tough course with excellent marshalls and plenty of water
In full: Walk to the start was different but all worked well for me. The course was more undulating than I expected which made it a tough day out. Loved the sunshine and the goodbag was probably the best one I have ever had.

In short: Something different and a little mad.
In full: YouTube video does not do the climb justice. If you like something crazy then this is one for you, if you want to run the whole way then this is not the race for you. That aside well organised in a lovely location.
