In short: Excellent organisation
In full: I knew there were some hills but didn't think much about it. The scenery was superb on the hill sections so we just distracted ourselves with that. The people with the hosepipes at the second and third waterstops should be knighted - thank you it was MUCH appreciated. We like to do loads of different races and never do the same one twice, but we will be back for this one next year. Great t-shirt and we both got PB's! Ranking people in their potential timings really helped:-)

In short: Good, slightly hilly, challenging course - but really enjoyable
In full: Slightly hilly but very pleasant course, sufficient drinks stations and friendly locals with cooling hoses if needed. Organisation is good and the t-shirts are definately worth collecting.

In short: Really enjoyable
In full: My first year at this race, but you could tell that the organisers have done this before and have everything well organised - lots of marshals, water stations etc. Personally I enjoyed having the slope up in the first half because it meant I could look forward to the slope down when tiring in the second half. A hot day, but possible to find a reasonable amount of shade during the run.

In short: Well run event, but unlikely to get a PB
In full: A good event which punches above it's weight.
Organisation was excellent and support generous. The course was not flat so PB would be unlikely but not out of the question.

In short: Superb!
In full: Love this race! Well organised, Good Marshalling, plenty of water stops and the sun always shines!! Event Best for me to do but doubt I will ever do a PB here as it is a challenging route but that is the appeal! Well done to all those associated with Wargrace 10K as you do a superb job!!
