In short: My first 10km race, not the best to start with due to the steady incline for the first 5km. Still at least when I run a flat course my time will improve substantially!
In full: A very good race for those looking for a challenge, only decided to do the race on the Saturday (day before), called organisors, very helpful. If I do it again, will put in A LOT of hill training. Great views from the top and a nice scenic run through the castle.

In short: Well organised and friendly
In full: Nice early start to this fairly tough race, beautiful scenery if you've the energy to look. Bring the family as the Arundel Festival is on at the time.

Wide choice of pubs afterwards!

In short: A good one to take part in but you'd be hard pushed for a PB.
In full: Tough course - two major up hill climbs and one steep grassy downhill, three water stops which were very welcome and fabulous scenery in the castle grounds. Good enthusiastic crowd at the finishing line. Well supported.

In short: excellent race
In full: The first 5k are up hill so you need to pace yourself other wise you will run out of steam. The next 2k are down hill before you go up again but this up hill is not that long. The final 3k is the time to kick and go for a good time. i will do it again.
