Really enjoyable, felt a bit anxious at the start as lots of fast runners and worried being one of the last ones as a slower runner but the marshals stayed which really helped!

It was an enjoyable evening that was very well organised. The course was good, however it did get a bit repetitive especially on the fourth run round. But as i said it was still an enjoyable evening. Thank you.

Really enjoyed the run. It got slightly repetitive as it was a series of loops but that's understandable. Sponsor stuff was good. I never received my chip time and had to dig for it which was quite annoying. It would be cool to have an automated email send through the result.
