In short: Excellent organisation in trying conditions
In full: Very well organised event from start to finish. Parking easy, plenty of changing facilities, friendly marshalls, plenty of water, warm showers at the end and a prize t-shirt that looked like Geoff hurst's strip in '66.
The conditions were foul, wet, cold and pouring with rain and yet the supporters were all round the course. Great race Wimborne, well done.

In short: Wet, cold and challenging last hill..well done the marshalls
In full: Awful weather but on a dry, autumn day would have been excellent. Still achieved a PB by nearly 6 mins (only 1 other 10m this year though!)Well done to the organisers in atrocious conditions.

In short: Achieved my target time and a bit, so very happy!
In full: Where were those cakes I was promised, somehow I missed them! A big thank you to the marshals for turning out on such a miserable day and still being cheerful! Some minor quibbles with organisation, some difficulty in finding where things were as a newcomer to this event,but overall very happy and thanks to some very friendly Poole AC runners for helping to make the miles disappear.

In short: Great rural race with nice mug and lovely cakes at the end!
In full: This was the second time my husband and I did this race and we both got PB's (I beat my last year's PB from Wimborne).
The weather couldn't have been better and it was great to run amongst a lot of good runners - a big thank you to Frances Anderson, who certainly kept me going...
The hill at the end was a good challenge and the lovely cakes at the finish made the effort well worth it!
The only difference to last year were the missing Moriss Dancers in a little village and not much of a cheering crowd or encouraging marshalls.
But everything was very well organised and we would certainly do it again.
