In short: Tough hills but fantastic views. Great stuff.
In full: The course has lovely views, although the first 4k's or so being uphill is certainly tough. Coming back down on the grass was hard work - it's when you're trying to slow yourself down that's difficult, especially on that terrain....and then, you turn to the right and see another uphill - now that was a nightmare! (am I selling this well?)

All in all excellent stuff, and it was lovely to start and finish in the centre of Arundel with 99% of the spectators in the area. Oh, and orange sqaush at the finish, how civilised :)

I also love the early start of 9:30am, especially with the potential of it being extremely hot at this time of year.

In short: A fantastic but challenging race
In full: The setting was amazing. The weather was glorious. The course was possibly the toughest 10k I've run but you can run the Brighton 10k if you want a fast time.

This cost me just £6 to enter! A bargain in this day and age.

I will do this again and that's the ultimate compliment you can pay really

In short: Arundel Castle 10k 2006
In full: Starts on tarmac with a short steep hill soon converting to a gradual slope up to about 4.5k. Then rutted grass track including a short, very steep descent progressing to level. Then about 7.5k a steep uphill which needs to be allowed for in the earlier pacing. Last 1k or so level and very steep downhill tarmac finishing straight ( you might find it hard to stop ). You need to know all the gradients to get this one right so I hope I've helped with this.
