In short: Tidy little race this one, good field and nice undulating course...
In full: This is a really friendly local race, well organised by Droitwich AC. They are really good at keeping in touch, doing the simple things well and providing for a range of people. Please keep it the same, I'll be back for the third time next year...

In short: Again, a fine job by Droitwich AC! My second Droitwich and will return again next year. Only slight niggle would be one or two more water stations. Very scenic and very little hassle from traffic. Well done!

In short: A really enjoyable race and knocked 6 mins off my PB!
In full: Nice route, limited undulations, really enjoyed it.

The "free" lunch was a great touch!

More of a club-feel than other races I have previously entered, so not quite as much banter.

Will definitely be back next year - thanks and well done to all who helped organize.

In short: A great mid week race to get a PB.
In full: This was a first mid week race for me and it did not disappoint. The course was relatively flat through some nice quiet country lanes with definite PB protential.

In short: Super Quick 10km Course
In full: Almost flat course, with a few minimal ups and downs midway, on very quiet country lanes. Great marshalls and great course. I smashed my 10km on this course by nearly 2 mins, going sub 43 for the first time. If your local (ish) defo worth turning up for the bargain price of £6. Big Thumbs Up All Round!

In short: Decent first time running of new event
In full: As this was the first running of this half you were always going to find the odd niggle coming up, i.e. the car parking but, it all got sorted out before the off. However, I will concur with the previous reviewers who mentioned the lack of a third water station half way round, as I too found myself becoming dehydrated and I genuinely started to look at the puddles in the road as a possible drink supply!!! Nevertheless, I will be entering next year as whilst the course is more “gently undulating” it does have PB potential and could become one of those “must enter” races.
