In short: Quick and flat course
In full: One of the flatest and fastest 10K races you'll find in the area. The only hills are at the bridge over the M40 which you do on twice on this out and back course. My Garmin reported the total climb as 37m.
Being in early December the weather can be a factor, but Sunday was (for me at least) perfect.
Scenery wasn't the best, but this is a race I entered with an eye on a PB.
