In full: Stourbridge Stagger 10. Brilliant run course was challenging, lots of mud & oh thoses hills! lol. Worth doing just for the glorious scenery, such lovely views of countryside. Marshalls were brilliant, very friendly and encouraged you all the way. Thank you

In short: Hard work but a pleasure nevertheless
In full: Having driven the roads in the area it was good to see it form the top of the hills. It was one of those races where you think you have gone further than you actually have - quite gruelling at times. The stiles, short sharp hills and narrow defiles full of mud began to wear. A long downhill finish which was pleasing and a towel as the prize. The race is cheap but good value.

In short: A tough but enjoyable local race
In full: A tough course with plenty of mud and hills - and also plenty of stiles to climb over too! Still, much more enjoyable to be running around the Worcestershire countryside than on a flat, featureless, tarmac area. Very well marshalled but facilities a bit thin on the ground at the start/finish.

In full: I enjoyed this as it was an interesting route once out of Stourbridge. I really enjoyed the mix of woodland paths, open fields, a few roads etc. I have to say I wouldn't do it again because it's a bit too far from home (Derbyshire) and I have to say the facilities were dire. Apart from a good car park - albeit slightly far from the starting line, there were no proper changing rooms or showers - which it stated there were on the website. Had to drive home in cold, clammy gear. Apart from that I'd recommend this to anyone local and it was useful as my first longer run from 10K distance. Excellent marshalling I must say.
