In short: A great village event, steep 1K hill at start otherwise flat
In full: Takes place in a small village near High Wycombe. Very friendly organisation and nice community feel - started by local MP, also incuded kiddie fun races. Run is very rural though largely flat. Lots of views of ploughed fields. No support out on course (not a surprise as often on private roads) but nice and cheery at start/finish. Very well marshalled.

In short: Challenging hill for the 1st km but in the shade, the rest is mostly flat but on a hot day no shade and hardly any roadside support to keep you going.

In short: very well organised race, good fun if it wasn't so hot.
In full: Very well organised race, the hill at the start was challenging, if not as tough as I had expected, glad it was in shade, as it would have been a killer in that heat.
Water stations were well placed, and manned, was very glad to see the first one. and as much water as you needed after the race. and was it needed.
The start and finish are in a park with lots of parking so you can keep your things in the car.
Nice little fate taking place as well which made it a fun morning.
Stayed on to watch the presention and the highlight of the day was after the comentator complaned that the ladies weren't giving him a kiss when they went up and collected their awards, a lady ran out of the crowd and gave him a great big kiss that left him speachless. He didn't know what to do. Great fun. Only in it's fourth year this race is going to get bigger and if the fate grows as well it could become one of best 10k's of the year. I will be back.
