In short: Lovely scenery running through Ashtead Common. Everyone very friendly and marshals were very supportive. A little challenging with a few slopes and uneven ground, but so much nicer than running on tarmac!

In short: What a fantastic friendly atmosphere - never seen anything like it. Loved the way everyone cheered each other on when passing by other runners on the return leg. Very well organised. Pretty course - those undulating hills certainly stop any PB's!

In short: Engaged the whole family including non-running wife A must!
In full: Great atmosphere. Pleasing see a younger starting age of 4 upwards - thus meant that whole families could join in and the personalised t shirts were a great touch. Given the uneven terrain I think a PB would be challenging but this us one of the best all round family/competitive races that I have run and can't wait till next year.

In short: Most eco friendly race of the year. Well organised by Dr Rob and unique slate coasters make this race a date for the calendar again in 2012. Great support from the marshalls and supporters.

In short: Very friendly well organised event and easy to get too.
In full: With the race start and HQ within sight of Ashtead railway station this must be one of the easiest events to get too, especially with the later than usual start of 11:00am.
This is a very well run local race with excellent marshalling from Doctor Rob and his team. The course is challenging enough with climbs that you could not call it a PB course.
Well done to all and great finishing prizes of a running top and an unusual slate drinks coaster - nice touch.
