In short: Excellent race - good organisation & encouraging marshalls
In full: I've now run this twice and thoroughly enjoy it. A nice two lap course through the scenic school town of Harrow - pretty steep hill to go up twice and runners of different abilities so great for experienced and beginner runners. About 10 mins walk from to the Harrow-on-the-Hill tube station. Recommended. I hope it takes place again in 2012. Thanks to the organisers and marshalls.

In short: A nice, small, friendly race around an interesting part of London.
In full: A nice race, and always good to do something a bit different. Up the very steep hill straight from the start was very tough, but seeing the buildings around the school and Harrow on the Hill made for an interesting course and a race worth doing in the future.

In short: Excellent race, look forward to next years one.
In full: Very enjoyable, marshalling and organisation were great and the hills on the course were challenging. Hope this event is held next year.

In short: Great organisation, good course, nice atmosphere, lovely goody bag
In full: you can tell how good a race is when you think it's great even though it's cold and wet. Really good organisation, only negative is that start and finish line not clear enough for those who are trying to measure our race time accurately. For the money it costs to enter, it's a total bargain and had a very friendly atmosphere. Good mix of runners.
Yes it's hilly but the clue is in the name. Loved it
