In short: Good flat course, good atmosphere, excellent organisation and facilities
In full: I have done this the past two years (with two very different extremes of weather!) and though I agree the scenery leaves a lot to be desired, it really was a good, well organised, fun race. Will definately be back next year.

In short: Nice flat course.
In full: Nicely organised race, although did see one wheelchair athlete almost get taken out by a car the marshalls failed to stop.

Nice and flat - can see why PBs get broken here. Real nice atmosphere.

In short: Good, flat and well marshalled course!
In full: Enjoyed the run, despite the bitterly cold conditions! At least the snow had cleared! The marshals were very encouraging and the course flat with great PB potential. Shame I didn't take advantage of that fact!! Would love to do it again!

In short: Totton. This isn't just fast. It's very fast!
In full: It's true that Totton was at the back of the queue when God handed out pretty scenery.

But who cares? If you're going sufficiently slow to notice, you're not trying hard enough! :-)

The organisation here was excellent, and the school coped admirably with the people. Even the chairs in the hall were big enough for full-sized people!

Well marshalled, a nice souvenir, results displayed within minutes of runners crossing the line, official photos available as soon as the race finished.

This is a no-nonsense, well-organised uber-fast 10k.

Please, Hampshire Police, please can we keep it?!!

In short: Fantastic organisation, I hope they can keep the course!
In full: My first Totton 10k - I entered to take advantage of the fast, flat course and wasn't disappointed. Friendly marshalls all the way round, the school made a good base. Unfortunately I'd been injured between entering and racing, but still managed to get within 2s of a PB - definitely a fast course! I do hope that this route can continued in future.

In short: Let's hope it's not the last running
In full: This race was designed for PB's and is well organised as always. Unfortunately the police are refusing to provide cover for the race; not because the organisers won't pay nor because there is anything wrong with the course. The Race Director said it is due to other priorities. Just what are the police doing on a Sunday Morning!!! Then to add insult to injury just as we started a police car drove the wrong way round the first kilometre loop. You couldn't make it up.

In short: Always a fast one
In full: There's a certain amount of traffic-dodging on the final run in down the A36, and I can understand why the authorities are not keen on allowing this route again. The school where they hold it makes an excellent base though, I hope they can find another route.

In short: Such a Fast Course it Doesn't Matter Where it Is
In full: Excellent course for PB's well organised (well except for the police getting in the way after half a km!) and a useful momento. Well thought through and executed race. If you are interested in setting a PB this race should feature on your calender.
