In short: Good fun, beautiful scenery, horrible hill at the end, but worth it to get to the end. Only complaint as it was a hot day was that there wasn't much water at the end, just a small plastic cup.

In short: Beautiful scenery through bluebell woods, killer hill at the end
In full: This was a very well organised beautiful run. Undulating.... The first 3 km was uphill and then quite gentle until the last 200m... Great atmosphere, running through the woods was lovely, out of the direct sun for most of the run, wide trails and dry. The last 200 m is up quite a steep hill.... Hope to be back next year !

In short: A good fun course.
In full: This was my second 10k after doing the Knole Park race in Sevenoaks last month.
The course was fun and challenging and I really felt the benefit of increasing my training runs from 1 per week to 4 per week in the weeks between the two events.
The last hill was hard but the relief of making it to the top was great.
There are a couple of things that have disappointed me though.
Firstly the lack of a medal for finishing and the promise of a free race photo from Sussex Sports Photography has not happened.
I'm not sure if I will do this event again next year despite the fact that the course was so much fun.

In short: A genuine cross country race - a roughly measured course, rough trails and super scenery with a sting in the tail!
In full: This is a fantastic, relatively low key event in picturesque surrounds that combines forest trails and fields and a challenging hill at the end. The course measured roughly 10.2kms which is the way cross country races should be! Well organised (with the London Marathon also showing on a big screen TV in the marshalling tent) - a great race for experienced runners and beginners alike. For those of us not reaching the dizzying heights of the Marathon, I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning! I'll be back next year...

In short: What a great race. There really is nothing not to like on this course.
In full: Don't turn up if you want to get a new PB. However everything else was a joy. Even the nasty hill was conveniently right at the end so you just had to get up it for a rest. The views were beautiful. The course well marked. The marshals friendly. Great race, see you next year.

In short: Relaxed atmosphere, well organised, low key, all in all a great event
In full: Really enjoyed this race: a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, well organised and efficient. If you like running off road and enjoy a few hills this is the one for you. Have to agree the last hill was hard work - just about got to the top, thanks to the two other runners who encouraged me to keep running those last few metres.
