In short: A hidden gem of a race
In full: Another great race on the fens, windy this year, but still managed a good time. Excellent goody bag for the entry fee

In short: very good for a new race
In full: Surprisingly nice run by the river; quite a lot of trail sections, and I'll remember the bouncy bridge we ran over twice. There were some little things - some marshalling points were unmanned, there were some rather angry cows (!) and there was quite a bottleneck at the start which caused everyone to stop for a minute or two. I would certainly come back for another go on a cooler day.

In short: Very good new race
In full: Organised very well for a new race, very challenging hills, and lots of support out in the villages. As said below long walk to get post race goodies in town centre, but think this done by council (who were involved a lot in the event) to get everyone to spend money in local shops

In short: A credit to the city of Peterborough
In full: Brilliantly organised - starting time zones at beginning were mostly adhered to, course itself was very quick, and fantastic support from the locals make this a must do next year

In short: Well organised club 10K with a sting in the tail!
In full: Well organised, with hill at 8K to test the legs. Course follows roads, but traffic wasn't a problem.

In short: Good new race over unusual distance
In full: Agree with above - enforced negative split by early hills. Well organised, but bit too much traffic on the course for me though

In short: Very good again!
In full: Very good as always - bit hilly in places, but gentle downhill last three miles comes at the right time. Fully chipped and excellent top and goody bag, can see why it sells out months in advance

In short: Well organised club race, thanks Fenland
In full: Very quick course when not windy - the fen is exposed to the elements. Fortunately only a light breeze this year allowed some very fast times to be recorded on this flat course.
