In short: A good pre London race
In full: A good race considering it was the first time it had been held. Only downsides were lack of toilets and bag drop off taking ages. hardly 'fast and flat' but very enjoyable none the less.

In short: Well organised and friendly race
In full: For a first time race there was a good sized field and the start was wide, so no jostling and getting caught behind others for a change. The water marshalls were brilliant, really uplifting when you're slogging around the course. Great place for a race as plenty for spectators to see.

In short: Enjoyable jaunt around Surrey countryside
In full: Good two lap course on tarmac through Dunsfold aerodrome and surrounding country roads. Nice wide start so you could get the ideal start. I thought the course was a little more than 'playful' with four of five climbs. A little of the course was on busy lanes with fast traffic. Great medal, but still pricey.
Good job done by organisers and marshalls.

In short: Good, reasonably challenging and windy pre-marathon 20 with encouraging marshalls and generally well organised.
In full: Just need to send out bag labels with running pack to avoid long queue that delayed the start. Other than that great organisation with friendly atmosphere. Well worth the journey.

In short: Well organized country 20miler with just a few lumps.
In full: This was very well organized. Lots of water stations and marshalls. Course is a bit lumpy in places which keeps it interesting. Nice shiney medal. I've now done 2 races by RunToLive ( other being Surrey Badger) and both have been run well on good courses.

In short: The Wind
In full: The wind was much more than I expected around the circuit and I missed a PB as a result, however im happy with my time conditions.
Took over an hour to get out of the car park after a hard race when everyone wants to get home, no marshalls in the car park leads to chaos and for this reason I will never do this race again and that is a shame.

In short: prett-ay, prett-ay, pretty good
In full: Not what I expected. Dunsfold airfield makes for a perfect Race HQ. Route, weather and marshals were top quality.

In short: Good Marshalling, Scenic Course
In full: Nice to start/finish at the Aerodrome - helicopters hovering above, great background.
Generally recommend the race; things I did not like - no jellybabies at waterstations (apart from 1 on second lap) although advertsied.
I found generally too few waterstations. If it had been slightly warmer that would have been quite bad I think.
Running past the finish line for the 10 miler (and the tea hut with bacon rolls) required a lot of willpower ...
