In short: Just entered again for the 2006 race as this is a very popular race. The organisation last year was superb and this is a fantastic race.

In short: Well organised. Mildly hilly therefore an excellent race for first-timers. Shame the t-shirt wasn't very exciting

In short: Fast course, semi rural, but not off the beaten track.
In full: A well organised race and you get a trip to the farm afterwards to wind down. What more could you ask for!
Course is undulating, but very quick, beat my pb by over a minute. Are they sure its 10km?

In short: Great organisation and a potential PB course.
In full: The race starts and finishes from Standalone Farm, which made getting out at the end a little difficult. The course isn't traffic-free, which meant some single-file running in places, but it was well-marshalled with drivers mostly quite patient.

The race is mostly on country roads and apart from an uphill start and some undulations between 7K and 9K, was relatively flat. Overall runners were friendly and the farm has lots of 'petting' animals for children so it's good if you're accompanied by family.
