My first time doing this event and it was very enjoyable. The route starts from the airfield and then you enter country lanes right up until the last couple of hundred metres, where you come back into the airfield. The route was well marshalled and they were encouraging throughout. If you are PB hunting then this is definitely a place to go. It flat, fast and easy to plot your way around. The medal was nice and the T-shirt is one of my favourite designs. The only slight issue was getting off the airfield after the event. It took a long time, but safety had to come first as they couldn't release cars until all the runners had finished. If they could find a better way of doing this in the future it would help the event. I'm not sure if there is more than one way in and out to the airfield to prevent cars and runners coming into contact. Overall a good event.
