In short: Worst weather conditions I've run in, but still smiling at the end
In full: This had the potential to be a really lovely run, but the weather was against us. Rain, hail and a wind that made me feel as though it would be quicker to walk!! Would definately do it again next year though.

In short: Great race, rotten weather.
In full: I travelled from Bexleyheath to do this race with a friend who was undertaking his first 10k. It had all the makings of great race the scenery is rugged this time of year but still fairly impressive and the course is quick but still challenging in places. All of this changed when we got to about the 7k mark, the weather was the worst I have run in, at times the interminable wind and rain felt like it was trying to stop you in your tracks. Weather aside, good race well organised, pleasant marshalls.

In full: A Massive well done and thank you to The Willow Foundation! A super run, great atmosphere, good marshalling, well organised, a joy to be part of.
Despite the weather, the support from marshalls, supporters and runners was probably amongst the best I've encountered.
Even the weather couldn't spoil this one!

In short: Very good race and location - shame about the weather after about twenty minutes although it was 'refreshing'. Only minor critiscism was the erratic kilometer markers - they didn't seem to be evenly spread.
