In short: Fast! Work the last hill as your almost home.
In full: In the 9th k there is a hill. Just take this one steady but the next one you come to needs to be worked as your turning in for home at the top of it. A good chance to catch people napping. See you next year!

In short: Nice 10K made for doing PBs on.
In full: I did this race in 2003 and did a PB then. Travelled from Stafford to try and get another one but failed by 26 seconds!
Great course with a long downhill section between 6 and 8 km. Will be coming back to do this one again and maybe bring along a few fellow Stafford Harriers too.

In full: Even the big storm just before the start and muddy parking field didn't dampen the spirits.

In short: Lovely 10K with a real village fete feel about it
In full: I was here 2 years ago & ran a PB & liked it then. Today I ran like a 3-legged donkey but still thought this was a really nice event. Home made cakes on sale in the village hall, and finishing in the square just by the hall - all helped contribute to a really nice atmosphere - sorry I couldn't stay to see the fun run.
Only (mild) criticism is the runners' car park - the field is pretty uneven & overgrown anyway, and the thunderstorm in the hour before the start turned the exit into a quagmire, with some cars having to be pushed out.
But never mind that, I'll certainly be back next year.

In short: A village event made for runners
In full: There was a definite village feel to this race. I think this is because it just concentrated on getting all the important things right.
It was a flat course in a nice little village, with encouraging marshalls, a clock on the finish line, accurate kilometer markers and was ideal for runners of all types.
Although I say its flat, there were a couple of hills and raises in the race which I didn't mind as it helped you put in bits of effort, or rest off a bit, but not often enough to be undilating. It was a two lap course, but there was only about a mile which was on both laps so isn't a multiple-lap course.
Overall, it was just a really good race. I can't quite put my finger on why I enjoyed it so much, but it was certainly one of the most enjoyable races I've done in a long time.

In short: After thunder storm for an hour before the start turned into ideal running weather, excellent organisation and friendly atmosphere, and great cake at the village hall to finish.
