In short: Flat, fairly fast, well organised and a good start to the day
In full: A really good race with facilities at the beginning to get something to eat and drink and at the end to shower and get changed. Free parking at Chessington Adventure Park was only a 10 minute walk.
The race itself was a little slow at first because we were all trying to stay off the road - slightly impossible with the amount of people and very small pavements but after about the 4k things seemed to spread out a bit. It's also pretty flat so opportunities to take off at a gallop if you want.
I would do it again for sure. A friendly club with plenty of encouragement and very well organised.
