In full: The hilliest race outside the Andes. Friendly and well organised but you've really got to work for your goody bag.

In short: Tough but rewarding.
In full: My second Hermitage 10k and more enjoyable than last time. It is not a PB course; it’s probably a tough as you get, steep hills for the first 4.5k and a few more to come in the next 5.5k. Mainly downhill from 8k onwards although the finish straight seemed to go on forever and I’m sure it was slightly uphill! Well organised and very friendly. Great scenery also, something to take your mind off the pain. I would recommend it to all types of runners but if you are new to running it is a real baptism of fire!

In short: Water by Lidl, course design by Marquis de Sade!
In full: Killer hills esp the last one from about 4-4.5k! Add the heat and the wind and you've got just about the most challenging race in the Midlands. Couldn't run as fast downhill as I wanted as they were so steep but this is a real challenge. If you can run here you can run anywhere.

In short: The hardest 10k I've done
In full: Very hilly, well organised with 2 water stations and a few people dotted around handing out extra water! Last year I swore I wouldnt do it again but I came back! It is better second time when you know what to expect so dont go off too hard!

In short: A challenging course, particularly on such a warm day. Excellent organisation. The marshalls, spectators and other runners were very supportive. I'll be back next year to try to improve my time.

In full: At the young age of 56 this was my first 10k race and I really enjoyed it. A bit hilly at the start but eased off near the end. A very well orginesed race and a definate challange for beginers like myself.
