In short: A great way to start the weekend
In full: Tough 5K course through Banstead Woods, starting half way up a relatively steep hill with the whole hill to tackle second lap round. Won't be a PB for most people but challenging, great for fitness and the friendliest atmosphere you could hope for. Organisation fantastic too - and of course its free.

In short: Tough start, excellent finish!
In full: Course is essentially a square, flat along top and bottom, short sharp slope then slight up gradient on right side, downhill on left side. Only serious uphill is very soon after start and was definitely easier second time around. Tracks are pretty sound though a bit uneven in places and will potentially be slippery when wet.
Excellent organisation and atmosphere - and it's free!

In short: Scenic, well organised and well worth doing
In full: First race held on 16th June, and, in the tradition of the UKTT, excellently organised and great value (Free). Quite a challenging course but very scenic and sheltered from the elements as it is entirely contained within Banstead Woods, a site of special scientific interest.
