Many thanks Peter - we're thrilled you enjoyed it!

If you hills and quiet country lanes, this baby is for you.

Glad you kept the school location. So easy to park and that's worth plenty.

Yes, the school is a superb base and we're lucky to have the use of the facilities!

Excellent route

Poor not to recognise age groups, running week at 60 should be recognised just as much as those in younger age groups

Matthew Buckley

Country lanes galore

A great race. One of the smaller ones but enjoyable. No road closure but route on quiet enough lanes. Marshals plentiful and very friendly.

Really pleased you enjoyed the race, Matthew. The marshals were something else, weren't they?

Paulette Reed

A very well organised event and brilliantly marshalled. Due to the hills I would not recommend to new runners/beginners. Also liked that there is a tail walker/runner.

Thanks Ammar for your lovely comments.

Good friendly event

Overall the race is very good and has a nice route. I didn't like the changes to the finish where you now finish on Sandyhurst Lane. It adds challenges as the road isn't closed and didn't feel very safe with the cars driving past

Organiser comment:

Really pleased you enjoyed the event. It isn't possible to close all of the roads and we do have to liaise with a lot of local parties to secure the route. We do address in the pre-race brief about the use of open roads, but hope this didn't detract from your race too much.
