In short: Great parkland, roots, wet grass, a proper off road.
In full: A very English race, starting at the Cricket club and ending with home baked cakes and tea. Course is beautiful if you have the guts to look up -watch those roots! I admit I walked some of the hills too.

In short: Lovely race, well organised, great route. Well done, Beckenham!
In full: I ran this last year (which I believe was the first year) and loved it, so I spread the word and got some others to come along. Fortunately the weather had been good all week so the route was dry - if it was wet it would be a very different race! A good mix of grass, trail and woodland, 3 water stations, great marshals. Not a PB race, but I managed to knock 3 mins off last year's time so I can't complain. Tea and cakes at the clubhouse is a nice touch at the end. Well organised. I'll be back in 2009.

In short: Nice route through woodland which was helped by the fine weather - wouuld be awful in rain. Challenging middle part with steep hills but a great race that is worth a go.

In short: Some deceptive hills but mainly flat.Not a race to travel a long way for but if you're local it's well worth the effort
