In short: A tough course on a hot day.
In full: Although the hill at 8km is well known, I noticed that we went up exactly the same hill in the first 1-2km. However one does not notice it then because of the packed field and freshness of one's legs!
I never found the portaloos mentioned in the information sheet - the public toilets were very small.
I did the Evesham Vale 10K 2 weeks later more than 2 minutes faster, showing the Timberhonger course is tougher.

In short: A really enjoyable race. I spent the first 7km wondering why it had a real reputation for killer hills, and the last 3km realising the answer to that one! Still a great race and very well marshalled.
In full: I'll defo be back next year - a banana/energy drink at the end wouldn't go amiss though!

In short: Not a bad race uphill. No showers
In full: Very good testing race. Uphill in places. Well marshalled. But the showers did not work. Surely somebody knew there was a race on and they could have gotten them sorted? But that was the only nigle.

In short: Warm and hilly but suitable for all abilities
In full: Quite a tough course especailly as it was quite hot when the sun came out but traffic-free and a good place to start my comeback. Good medal, numerous, supportive marshalls.

In short: Pleasant, undulating country course, well organised and enjoyable
In full: My first time here, but I'd definately be back.
It's not a course for a PB, although the hills aren't as bad as some do make out, but it's a nice route, with the roads closed off for the event.
Ample free parking, good directions, clear km markers, and cheerful marshalls made this a very good event for all.
Was also nice that the race coincided with the funfair :-)
