In short: Excellent Scenery, Lovely Marshalls, Glorious Day - Shame about the LACK of WATER
In full: More water stations please next year. I probably wouldn't do this again - simply based on that. I know of many people who had to drop out at mile 5 - what a shame.

In short: Great undulating 10miler with superb scenery.
In full: Just once can it be overcast for this race... another scorching day!! Very well organised with great marshalling. New start much better. Could have done with water stations every mile... apart from the hear a great and enjoyable race. Nice T-shirt aswell (not white!!) Will be back next year.

In short: Fantastically beautiful, gorgeous villages
In full: Very hot, but who cared when you had gorgeous houses to look at to take your mind off it. Marshalls did a fantastic job keeping the cars away from us around the winding bends and of course cheering and clapping us weary ones along at the end.

In short: excellent race, with superb organisation and very friendly (and lots of) marshalls
In full: Well done DMVAC for a brilliant morning - love the new start in one of the prettiest little villages in Surrey! organisation was first rate... I know the weather was far too hot for most of us - hence my low score for PB material - I was ready to faint after 4 miles - but the scenary kept me going!
Not sure if the new course was any quicker/flatter - for those of us who have run the old course a number of times it was just nice to have a change - look at a different set of gorgeous houses we will never be able to afford!!!

In full: Enjoyed this one immensely again this year. Great facilities, car parking etc. Course very well marked out and I thought the changes made for this year worked well. Very friendly crowd and great marshalling. Found the course challennging,especially in the heat.
