In short: Fantastic event, although the general quality of competitors would perhaps intimidate 'fun runners.' On the other hand it may inspire you for the year after because you'd certainly want another crack at it.

In full: 2nd time I'bve done it and really enjoyed it, I ilike the dog tag medals and the t-shirt, but....
its a shame it wasnt 10km as mentioned by others, and its a shame there were only 6 or so loo's and the start got delayed, but that aside, I'll still be back next year....

In short: I know its about the charity and thats fair enough, but sorry either its a 10k or it isn't, . Nice t shirt, great weather, toilets a joke.

In short: Tidworth 9K not 10K
In full: A glorious day for a run over Salisbury Plain.However with only 5 or so toilets for 700+ the race was delayed by 20 mins.The course was fairly tame apart from a few steep climbs.Fairly well marshalled.The biggest disappointment was at the end for me when the GPS only said 5.58miles.Surely the army boys have the tecnology to mark out 10K!
Dog tag medal nice touch.I think it is fair to say that this event has more emphasis on making money for charity,than getting the essentials of a race right which is fair enough.Overall great weather made up for other imperfections.

In short: Tough course over Salisbury Plain marshalled by the Army. Nuff said.
In full: Well short of 10km. I measured it at just about 9km. Some tough hills especially between 6km and 8km.

In short: Felt like I was in the army, although well organised, wasn't very keen on the route and too busy in some areas.

In short: Organisers could do better. They were lucky it was a nice day.
In full: As others have said it was certainly not 10k.
Also the number and quality of toilets was poor. I like to know where I finish in a race so I would not do it again unless they have results. If it costs money to work out results do away with the t-shirts.

In short: 2nd year and its was not 10k again!! My Garmin 205 made it 9k on the nail - even shorter than last year and they had changed thec course. Surely the Army chave access to proper measuring equipment. However it;s a good run with plenty of undulatio, a
