In short: Very hilly combined with apalling weather conditions
In full: I would rate the hills, as in Runners World, being one of the top hard challenges. The weather made this race hardwork and the road race was more cross country in places. More toilets this year and goody bag made it almost worth doing.

In short: what a good course and got a PB
In full: A good flat course although running one way along a road when the faster ones are on the way back is a bit demoralising. It was a very cold day which is challenging knowing what to wear and how many layers. This is still a problem I have to work out in my second year of running.

In short: Very hilly more than undulating so a challenging course decent goody bag and this year the tshirt was fantastic long sleeve breathable material probably as 25th race anniversary. Nice touch with 'Guy Fawkes' starting the race.
In full: Only problem I find which is common at most races is lack of toilets for the female competitors which was a shame as otherwise well organised.

In short: I enjoyed the race although the first hill was hard work!
In full: This was the first time I had run this race and although I knew about the hill at the beginning it was still hard work. It was warm and muggy which affected some people and I was glad it rained at my 5miles. I am a club runner and I was pleased to see alot of non club runners must be good for the future.
