In short: Up the hill and fast down
In full: I really enjoyed this race. The hill that seemed to get steeper and steeper. A glorious view. Then went as fast as I could downhill to the finish past a reservoir. All on country lanes.

In short: Fastest course I'm been on!
In full: The flattest course I've been on! The hill at the start wasn't a problem. Then winding country roads through lovely scenic countryside, mostly flat. The sting did get me but I managed it. I got a PB! Organised very well, thanks.

In short: A respectable race
In full: Thanks for the support of the many spectators. Very well organised with plenty of marshals. It was a struggle to go up the 2 mile long steady hill at 10 but I got a PB so cannot complain. I look forward to beating my time next year.

In short: Couple of tough hills
In full: No problems with the start this year and all the marshals did a very good job. Plenty of water stops. The scenery was gorgeous. Got to Blore just after the big hill and then ran as fast as I could and got a PB. A very good race.

In short: Very hilly!!
In full: My first time on this race and found it a very good race and great views. Took the first hill (Gun) carefully and that paid off for the rest of the race. Sprinted the last mile downhill. Thanks for all the support. Bit of a long walk to the starting point.

In short: Very hilly!!
In full: After reading about the two mile hill from the start I was prepared for it. I did it quite well. The rest of the race was slightly easier. At the start and finish there were thousands of carnival goers giving support generously and plenty of support in the urban areas. Would love to come back and beat my time next year.

In short: Fantastic Support makes this one of my favorite races
In full: I was clapped and cheered most of the way round. A local pub was playing "keep on running" out loud. Hosepipes ready to cool me down on the top of Milton Road. Crowd support at the end was amazing. Ill be back next year!
