In short: Friendly and efficient - what more could you ask for
In full: Done this twice now and have been so impressed with the organisation and hospitality from the marshals and organisers. No shortage of food post race and fluids every 1-2 miles. Looking forward to it next year.

In short: Well organised - lots of marshalls to cheer us on. Really good value
In full: It felt a relaxed event so would suit a beginner. It was also nice and flat so a PB is possible.
Thanks to all that cheered on and gave out drinks and cleared up after us.

In short: Quick race in pleasant surroundings
In full: Entered the 9/8 race: My first 5K race and a good event to participate in. There were a lot of quick London club runners (top 12 all went under 17mins) but overall a good mix of abilities in a field of about 180, so not too intimidating for a beginner. I ran a 20:48 time which put me in the middle of the pack in my category - I'll be back and looking to hang onto someone's shirt tails to break 20m next time! Friendly Marshalls, nice surroundings and well organised.

In short: Flat and fast
In full: I did the 10K on July 17th but all versions seem to get lumped together in the reviews.
A lot of very fast club runners but also plenty of mortals. Not what you would call a 'destination race' but worth it if you fancy a Saturday morning work out with plenty of PB potential.
The marshall who was waving goodbye to everyone as they left the car park made me laugh too.
