In short: Tough, friendly, well-organised
In full: Was hard work but nice to be traffic-free. Excellent access via public transport - Ashtead station very close. Got lucozade half way round - and lots at the end (although the carrots didn't go down as well as the jelly babies!). Perfect weather conditions - would have been very hard if wet! The prizegiving session was amusing and there were lots of cakes. Marshalls and the few supporters were really encouraging. Would recommend this.

In short: Enjoyable, but I found it tough
In full: I admit I probably wasn't as fit as I was earlier in the year but even so I reckon this was the toughest 10K I have ever done.
However I enjoyed not running on roads and I found that there was comraderie amongst the runners which you don't always exeperience with road races, this is despite the fact that for periods I was on my own! Will do again next yearmw

In short: Great atmosphere - great laugh.
In full: Found this rather challenging,3rd 10 k but previous 2 on flat tarmac. However great fun, brilliant amosphere, everyone really encouraging on out and back course.Organisation straightforward and spot on. Marshalls were all lovely,Don't even mind about the purple ankle from rabbit hole encounter at 4km - still finished in a good time for me(1:03 ish )

In short: Lovely course, great organisation!
In full: I thought the course was not that difficult and yet I found it tough. Possibly due to a lack of recent/regular training (no running at all over my 5-weeks holidays!!! Except playing tennis and chasing the children). Dr Rob's organisation was faultless, course well marked and encouraging marshalls all the way. As for the price, well people should abstain from negative comments. I like Dr Rob's races, and appreciate his efforts and goodies (nice flashy T-shirt, good mug and medal, plus sweets and sports drink....).
The only let down was myself, it simply does not get easier! I guess I'm out of practice. Pleasant course, highly recommended!
