I had a great race today, thanks to everyone organising it. From entering online to the finish line it was a great event. Bananas were a good touch!
I'll be looking to enter next year for sure. Thanks! Mark

Just wanted to pass on my thanks for an excellent race on Sunday. I organise 1 mile and 3.5 mile runs for my youngest child's school, so appreciate the hard work that has to go into an event like yours.
You have a lovely course there, a steady uphill start (ensured I didn't end up with my usual "I've gone to fast start!"), a challenging hill in the middle and a chance over the last two or three miles to 'put your foot down'. Most enjoyable.
Marshalling was spot on and friendly,and an extra special thanks to the young lady walking around dishing out extra water. Much needed and appreciated.
I had been working the previous night and went straight to the race venue, turning up at just gone eight o'clock. I half expected to be told I couldn't come in at that time. so please pass on my thanks to the chap marking out the car park. I was able to park in the field and get my head down for an hour.
Subject to my shifts I will definitely be back next year! Graham Hobbs, Desford Striders
