In short: Well organised, great race
In full: Nice scenery through Surrey countryside, fairly undulating but no real killers. Good selection of chocolate bars at the end, but only criticism would be to have the water nearer the finish.

In short: Enormously enjoyable. Course challenging enough hillwise. Marshalling outstanding. Parking easy and general organisation unnoticeably efficient..

In short: Great race, great organisation and a great event to look forward to next year.
In full: Having decided at the last minute to enter the race and not having run that distance for at least 6 months (although I run regularly), my concern was over the degree of undulation which turned out to be misplaced. For a first timer it's ideal while offering the fast guys the potential for a PB. Only rated scenery a 3 as the weather was overcast and misty (I'm sure there's some great Surrey countryside out there!), although ideal running conditions. Certainly one to consider as part of your London/Brighton training.
