In short: Well organised from parking to finish. But oh, those hills!!!
In full: One of the 37 non-runners that did the single lap fun run (over 450 did the full coarse) and personally found it hard going. Hill to start with was a struggle, hill half way round even harder. Course didn't seem to go back down hill but I'm assured it did! Excellent organisation and marshalling, police on the roads controlling traffic were great. Very pleased with the low entry fee for the fun run (As I'm not a runner I'm not keen on paying high sums to get exhausted!) and got a medal at the end! Well done Overton Harriers.

In short: Great race, great organisation at a fair price considering all the road closuress.
In full: Marshalls did a great job, but the event itself is so very well organise.
The route is good, but not easy with 2 big uphills, but the downhills negate any time lost. 32:21 for me and very happy.

In short: Hot & hilly but very enjoyable!
In full: A great race.....lots of clubs represented but OK for us slower runners too. Its a tough course, with some short inclines & 1 long-ish climb....but oh! those down-hill stretches make it all worth while!
Well organised and a lovely glass tankard to finish...well done Overton!

In short: Fantatstic Races for all the Family
In full: An excellent race which produce an abundance of smiles. My daughter recieved her first ever race number for the under fives race and a medal at the end (all free to enter). I got a PB on a undulating course and my wife enjoyed the atmosphere, this race is a must. The rganisation is brilliant and atmosphere superb, this is the type of event that UKA should focus on to get all ages into athletics!

In short: 2 laps with hills
In full: The organisation was excellent. There was a nice friendly atmosphere. There was a nasty hill which lasted about 1/4 mile and being a two lap race it was a bit depressing having gone up it the first time knowing that it was coming round again. However, easily made up the time on the downhill bits and it was a fast finish, the last mile and a bit being all down hill.

In short: Cracking little 2 lap race
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race - marshalls cheery and the locals were encouraging. Undid all the good work by stuffing a cheeseburger down my throat afterwards.
