In short: Really good meeting
In full: I have entered the PR 10k four times and each year it's always good - well organised and run - plenty of marshalls and (Thame 10k take note) has three water stations which on a warm day as often this run is was very welcome. Well done all concerned and see you next year.

In short: Very hilly but 3 water stations and well organised
In full: This is a hilly course and was challenging on a hot day. Excellent organisation and plenty of marshalls. 3 Water stations which were much appreciated. Lovely toilets, we will be back!

In short: Not my definition of a fast course - good organisation but lacking in atmosphere
In full: Lots of marsalls out on the course, but not one word of encouragement or anyone telling me I was 1st Lady, until one guy at 8.5km - not even any announcements at finish. On the plus side, a scenic run through the countryside, with stress free parking and toilets.

In short: Lovely location and friendly marshals
In full: Parking area was great - nice open sports field and very nice temporary loos ! Marshals and drinks station volunteers very nice and supportive - and some good support from local residents too. My second ever race - definitely on the list for next year.

In short: Nice scenic race
In full: Well organised and a good run with a few hills to make it mildly challenging. My only point would be that the finish line was a little confusing. Nice mug to take home as a momento though

In short: nice village feel
In full: Quite an undulating course makes it pretty interesting. Everything was good apart from the finish line itself which wasnt clear and 1 stride past it you were in a very narrow funnel, nice mugs given out at the end which was a 1st for me! Enjoyable run.
