In short: An undulating rural course, well-marshalled with minimum traffic. Enjoyed it.
In full: I enjoyed the course through leafy lanes with just enough inclines to make it mildly challenging. Good marshalling, changing facilities and T-shirt. A small, friendly event, ideal for first-timers.

In short: Lovely well run course but always so hot.
In full: Cant get true running potential because of the heat over the years I have varied between 48 mins and 1hr what a variation I wish the t-shirt was small !!!

In short: Very pleased I entered
In full: Last minute decision to enter - fully justified. It was hot but then it`s July and there was some shade to run in. Couldn`t believe how fast I was going for the first 6 or 7 k as it was mainly downhill and knew I would have to pay at some stage! Last 1500metres were hard but definitely a fast course.Thanks to everyone and I will be back next year and reccomend it.

In short: Hot and Hilly
In full: Too hot - a start time of 9:30am would have been preferable. Not really a PB course thanks to a very sharp uphill climb at around 8k but the Berkshire countryside made for pleasant viewing.

In short: A really enjoyable 10k on quiet country lanes.
In full: I brought a friend along for this, for his first race; never been in Tadley before. The course was really enjoyable, on quiet country lanes. The marshals were encouraging, the other runners friendly, and the finishing area just perfect with speed humps to slow the sprinters :-) . A good quality tee shirt too! For those chasing a trophy they had lovely crystal engraved bowls and cups. I have been to lots of 10ks and came 127 miles for this one. I wasn't disappointed. Thank you Tadley Runners!!

In short: Too hot!
In full: This is definitely a PB course with lovely scenery and very few cars. Heat was a big downer - felt ill for the rest of the afternoon when I'd finished. Nice amount of drinks stations but would have been better to have water in bottles. Always a warm welcome at Tadley Runners.

In short: Great Race in the sun
In full: Great Race, a bit to hot for a PB. Most of the 10K's this year have been very hot but all good training. Good Marshals especialy the one at the top of "the hill". After I said how hard it was he said the next one was bigger...very funny. ( He did tell me he was joking). Thanks to Tadley for a good race.
