In full: This was the 7th time I'd run this one. It was my first 10k so I always like to support it. As always it was well organised and there were plenty of marshalls, especially at the road junctions. Thanks again to everyone concerned.

In full: As usual a brilliantly friendly well marshalled low-key 10k which has charm and pb potential-they don't get much better than this. Oh & thank you to the marshalls who found my i-pod after i dropped it!

In short: have done this more than a few times - its a fave.
In full: One of my favourite races of the year, weather is normally good, its very well organised and friendly. Of course my best mate Soo lives in Eynsham too - so we make a full day of it if not a weekend! Leaves made some bits dodgy this year and the muddy bit as you come in to the end slowed you down when you should be going dor the finish hard! I got another PB, although I missed my goal AND I won my age category - so all in all an excellent event for me ;o).

In short: Good route, nice scenary. though the bit along the A40 isn't too good and the start is a bit cramped. Well organised and a good PB router.

In short: Good marshalling, organisation and course
In full: First time of running this and was very impressed. Good course of two laps, well marshalled, and though some of the atmosphere on the course was quiet, this was made up by the atmosphere in the race HQ before and after the race. Thanks Eynsham roadrunners - will be back next year to try to repeat todays PB

In short: Quick attractive course (excepting the A4 stretch!!) great organisation, cheery marshalls, competitive but welcoming.
In full: A nice morning out! Good facilities (toilets and changing), lots of added value (stall selling running kit, sports massage, baggage desk, quick results, free t-shirt, choice of 3 drinks at finish). Good fast course, few gradients but no hills, bit of a slog into the wind up the A40 but the weather was pretty kind generally! Very friendly encouraging marshalls plus good support around the course. Traffic control generally quite effective. Fast competitive field but good atmosphere and not too intimidating for beginners. Thanks Eynsham Roadrunners for a well organised event which is deserves to be as well-supported as it is. Going in the diary for next year!
