In short: Thanks Harlow RC for fantastic marshalling
In full: Well organised, plenty of encouraging, helpful and friendly marshalls, good parking (thanks Essex Air Cadets for your help), three water stations (although I could have done with the sponge station sooner). Not PB potential - unless you're a heat freak! Back again next year - let's hope for rain.

In full: A very well organised race. Thank you to all the marshalls and helpers.
I was glad of the early kick-off as it was a very hot day. There were plenty of water stations and some shade to be had through the country lanes.
An enjoyable route with enough challenging undulations to make it interestings.

In short: One year I will finish!
In full: This is my local race - it's starts less than a mile from my home! This is my third year of trying and the third time baled out somewhere on the course!
I run large chunks of the course fairly regularly and whilst the hill up through the park between 7 and 8 miles isn't really that tough, on a hot day it can catch out the unprepared.
For me I stopped at the 4 mile mark - I've run myself into heat exhaustion twice and the results aren't much fun.
I will be back next year, hoping that for one year the harlow 10 weekend will be cooler, much like it was in the run up to the race.
I feel better that I ran the course yesterday on my own in 1:17, which is a 10 mile PB for me.

In short: Great race, well organised, wot hills?
In full: The marshals were most encouraging, as usual; the organisation was excellent and the course was only mildly challenging. The "hill" appraoching mile 8 was only an undulation, the complainers have clearly never run truly hilly courses. Mid-August what do you expect but heat, don't complain. Greta design on the T-shirt too.
