Pingu99 Wow, well there were high's and lows on this one.  Well organised, it's not there fault I was a late entry and so they had run out of T's, but it should arrive so that was a good result.  I'm a bit unsure of the reason why a non club runner should fork out £ 12.00 for a run that didn't need any road closure's so perhaps next time I would sign up earlier.

The course is a challenge but well worth it to get away from boreing flat Industrial estates or farm land out in the Fen's.  The finish was tough for the last few hundred  up a grassy slope and the finish line could have been ebtter marked, oh and the 6K board was way out (by 200M on my Garmin).

Will I do it next year YES. Unaffiliated 44:28 45:04 50:00 46:00 64.05

thorneygeoff A tough race in hot conditions - the heat slowed me down; the race was well organised in every respect apart from running out of ocean spray drinks for the later finishers. Maybe some runners took 2! Thorney Running Club 42:41 43:34 45:00 46:56 65.51
