In short: Dependably good local race
In full: Great race - same course every year - I swear they had even more marshals that usual out there this year - which means you can measure yourself against past performances (er... I was slower this year than last, as usual). Saw loads of people I knew, which underlines how local and friendly the race is. First 4k is up, which is fine, since we all have 'fresh' legs, then 2k down and the rest fairly flat. Good course for fast finishers. Well done all the fire-fighters!

In short: MUST DO RACE
In full: My local race so bias towards this event. On the day the weather was perfect for distance running. If you don't run a negative split, then you have gone off too fast at the start. first 4k all up hill then 2k of downhill with the last 4k following the Mole Valley back to Leatherhead. Very much a race for club runners, but all are made very welcome. Very scenic race.

In short: Mix of road and light trail. Long hills at the start with some fast decents. Start delayed due by 15 mins due to toilet queues. Good atmosphere and decent crowd. Mixed field, lots of club runners but also a number of first timers. Back next year.

In short: Great race, excellent course, brilliantly organised and very friendly.
In full: I've done this race for the last 3 years and love it. I seem to get quicker & quicker everytime and am surprised at how fast it is despite the tough first 4k. Great organisation, very friendly and nice atmosphere. Only slightly complaint is that the medal isn't great. Would it cost much more to do t-shirts?

In short: Friendly & well organised but tough on the hills - no pb course!
In full: Really tough hills which I wasn't really prepared for. The first 2.5K is a steady uphill climb with some quite challenging steep bits. There are at least 2 more climbs interspersed with a couple of long fast decents. My shins and knees were crocked afterwards and I've been laid up with ice packs ever since! A well organised and scenic race though with a friendly but pleasantly competitive atmosphere. I'd do it again, but would probably not hammer up the hills as much
