In short: Superbly organised scenic event.
In full: This is the second time I have run this race.
Numbers of runners have increased but it was so well organised that this was fine.
A hilly route though, with 'undulations' that really sap the ole legs.
Fantastic run though, so glad I came back.

In short: Fabulous rural race. Excellent organisation and scenery.
In full: Second year of running this race and I will definitely return next year.
Lots of challenging hills but glorious sweeping descents as well.
Not too crowded which is what I prefer.
Thank you to all the race marshals and organisers.
Fab race.

In short: Nice quiet rural race
In full: Enjoyed this run. Quiet and relaxed race. I question the wisdom of having a 10k run marked out in miles though. Also not convinced it was an accurate distance but it was a briliant Sunday run :)

In short: Well organised fairly fast race.
In full: Good atmosphere and well organised. Thank you!
Two negatives (though some might not agree, depends): Very crowded and I think over priced.

In short: Fabulous race for those who like scenary and space to run.
In full: This race was lovely. It was scenic and quiet so you weren't elbow to elbow with loads of other people. Just my cuppa tea.

In short: Friendly Atmosphere but Dull Route
In full: All the runners I met along the course were o friendly which helped as teh spectators weren't up to much.(apart from those I knew) Very good organisation but extremely dull and demotivating route!!!! Would have hated to have run the full marathon distance here. Overall, glad I ran it but don't think I will run this again.
