In short: A great way to start the year
In full: The weather was below freezing and I was suffering from a cold but I enjoyed doing this for the second year running.
A very pretty course but two long hills on each lap makes this a real challenge. The race is well organised (although the start was not very loud) and very well marshalled. Thanks to those who were involved in make this a great day.

In short: Great race,wonderful scenery,two long killer hills (twice)- a winner... and I'm a first timer.
In full: I'll do this again. Great marshalls,Thanks to the girl with the Jelly Babies! Really challenging course- uphills (two killers,twice),down streets,through woods,with a few lovely moments in front of the great Epsom stand. Great finish. Good organization -although the starter could have been a bit more vocal,friendly on a freezing morning and uplifting.....the Cadet band was a nice touch. Overall a really special race on a memorably frigid morning. See you next year!

In short: A great post Christmas/ New Year challenging run
In full: Great organisation, and marshals and supporters who braved the cold conditions - thank you! Pretty route and probably even prettier for the frosty conditions.
Fairly challenging hills, which somehow seem longer and steeper second time round - but nothing too soul destroying.
My first Tadworth 10, would recommend to others and will be back for 2010.
