In short: A very well organised event over a flat course
In full: A flat course with PB potential, although the sections on the airfield are very exposed, so the weather conditions would need to be right. Good organisation and efficient results. Good cake stall!

In short: Well organised, but disappointed with my finishing time. Not the only person there to suffer in the heat or was the course a little long? Disappointing race momento's.

In short: Flat and sunny
In full: Flat as a pancake route around the airfield at Worminghall. Felt like we were out in the sticks, but only a 10 min drive from Oxford. Not the most exciting route, but definitely good for a fast time (unless you are me and don't like the heat!). A nice race with a good mix of speed demons and mere mortals like myself.

In short: Hard run on a hot day but definitely a PB course
In full: Not a lot of scenery on this course - starts in an airfield and does a loop around local quiet roads but nice and flat. Shame it was boiling hot & not a lot of wind apart from on the last 2km or so when it was in the face!!! Nice bunch of people and good marshalling though.
