In short: Slick organisation, flat course, friendly marshalls - what more could you want?
In full: This was my second time at Eynsham - both times the organisation has been really smooth and the marshalling very friendly and supportive. The course is flat and has good PB potential. It's a great Sunday morning out.

In short: A really well organised race with great potential for a personal best.
In full: This is a really well organised race with enthusiastic marshalls who keep your spirits up when you're flagging. Almost entirely flat - I shaved two minutes off my personal best! And the selection of homemade cakes in the school hall make it well worth the trip. The showers were a bit cold though!

In short: Best organised 10k I've run
In full: Hats off to the marshalls & helpers & spectators too!
Missed a pb by 4 secs, but with the 500 + field it took a while after the gun to get going. Definite pb potential for the speedsters as all pretty flat. The narrow paths made passing difficult in the damp conditions, but still enjoyable. Nice to have a souvenir t-shirt.
Well done all who made the race a special one!

In short: Great race, will be back next year!
In full: A fast and flat course makes it a good for PB potential. Very well organised - only slight niggle was that I missed out on the water because there weren't enough marshalls at the drinks station. Despite this though, I thought the organisers did a fab job - it's not easy organising a group of 500-odd runners to run along the A40 when it's not closed to traffic!

In short: Good fun. Flat, well marshalled course with a friendly atmosphere. Facilities pretty good. Pity about my time, I'll blame yesterday's 9 pints?!

In short: cold, gloomy but v.well marshalled and worth another attempt next year!
In full: the weather wasn't great and lets face it te route doesn't allow for great scenery or miles of spectators but well done to Enysham Road Runners for a fab job - the marshalls did a good job in terms of keeping us on the route without being run over by the traffic and they kept our spirits up. The leg down the A40 is a killer but thanks to the 2 nice chaps in front being my wind shield! Got a PB by a staggering 7 mins 23 seconds (no excuses for plodding now!) will be back next year without a doubt!
