But, it is also the 3rd Autumn 1/2 in this neck of the woods with Grunty Fen (no longer) GER and St Neots. People tend to fair better here as they have had longer to train for the race distance IMHO. And it's got a 3 mile 'downhill' finish.

FML May 2016 5:05pm, 3 May 2016 10,355 posts	Quote Pin FML I didn't realise Grunty Fen had gone also. Never done it, entered a couple of years ago and picked up an injury a couple of days before

Flatlander May 2016 5:44pm, 3 May 2016 431 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander St. Neot's had its reputation because it was extremely well organised, friendly with a good club feeling to it and easy to get to . Plus the course is quite scenic when there is no fog, and it is quick despite the undulations. I didn't run it last year, the first year it was organised by an outside agency instead of Riverside Runners, but others commented that it has lost its local club feeling and become too big. Despite that, I may still enter this year because of the course.
