In short: A few challenging hills for a beginner like me, but well worth it!
In full: Really enjoyed this race, very welcoming and friendly. Uphills at the beginning of the race were pretty tough going, but the long downhill near the end was brilliant!

In short: Scenic, well organised race on narrow lanes with road closures makes for a good event. The first mile all uphill puts paid to PB chances however.

In short: Late entrant but even the weather couldn't spoil the enjoyment
In full: OK, so I decided late in the day to come along. The only disappointing thing was that the race information had nothing about where it was being held (other than in Alton). No signs up in Alton and no-one at the Sport Centre (right next to the Running Club HQ) seemed to know anything about it. Fortunately came across the race car park by accident. After that, everything was great and the even was really well marshalled. Enjoyed every minute.

In short: Up and down, up and down.
In full: Must be a lovely run in the sunshine!

In short: Very very hilly - At 8 miles just wanted it to end
In full: Could have made it easier for my first 10 miler but was nice and close to home. Very hilly throughout the race including gentle slope for last mile to the finish which killed me. Will probably do next year as I had to walk in places which upset me with the amount of training I had done. Large field but very well organised (No finishers medal!!!).

In short: A worth while local trip out for me. Had a competative feel and lots of club runners forming up huddles so not so good for the unattached.

In short: Lovely scenery and well organised, hills weren't as bad as I'd read about. Eastleigh RC supports were great and it's not even their race.
