In short: Good race, well organised.
In full: Having a limit of 350 runners makes for a nice club type atmosphere with everyone chatting at the start. The course was well marshalled, but is not as flat as is sometimes made out. There is a very long but shallow climb at 1-2 and 6-7km and a further shallow to moderate climb at around 4 and 8km. It's still a very quick course, but there are quicker ones out there...

Nice touch to have the commander of RAF Brize Norton to start the race and for the mayor to hand out the medals, plus the T-Shirt was unusually decent with a bottle of water and banana thrown in for good measure!

In short: Scenery not exciting, but atmosphere and fairly flat course make up for it
In full: First time at this for me. Thought it was all very well organised and everybody seemed really friendly. Course was pretty flat - a couple of gentle climbs (one on each lap), but definite promise for a PB (if only I'd trained harder!). Scenery nothing to write home about, but definitely worth turning out for.

In short: Who cares about the suburban pavements when your flying so fast you can't see them!
In full: A good fast race, understated but effective organisation ran without a hitch, generous t-shirt water and banana, with a medal from the mayor, and a reasonable stretch on a long country lane to break the otherwise suburban scenery.

In short: A well organised race- great touch to have Mayor handing out medals!
In full: I was disappointed to be about a minute off my pb but heh? the race was a good one, so I'm not complaining! A well marked course with friendly marshalls-thank you! Organsiation seemed to run like clockwork and the smell from the BBQ was delicious; lunch was yummy! It was great to get a medal AND a t-shirt- and a big thank you to whoever decided to order every size of t-shirt; I now have a souvenir t-shirt that actually fits and doesn't cover my knees! Well done Carterton!

In short: Great sunday morning well spent
In full: A very well organised local event; good enough for Witney Road Runners to turn out in force and clean up on the medal stakes but also great for beginners. My 3 non running mates all made it in under 1 hour. Medal and T-shirt were nice as was the banana, water and optional BBQ. Well done to the organisers who managed to keep the allotment traffic to a minimum - I hope it gets the go ahead for next year.
