In short: Hot, hilly and a bit horrible
In full: The 11am start made it too hot particularly along the long 40mph road and I am not sure why some of the smaller roads were not closed off...I think Bushey's car drivers were having a very off day; sounding their horns and running people over.
Marshalling was a mixed bag of some very good marshalls really getting behind the runners and those who stood chatting on corners oblivious to all.
On the positive side,lots of water stations, nice medal at the end and the atmosphere was good in the park, but all in all, not I will be doing again.

In short: well organised race with plenty of prizes.
In full: First time I have done this race - it was undulating but not as bad as reports had led me to believe. lots of marshalls and several water stations. Nice to hear "mind the horses" at one stage rather than mind the cars! Good to start and finish on grass. Also great to see printed results put up after race, so people could see their place and time. will be back next year.

In short: Good run if you don't mind suburbia
In full: This is the 4th time I've run this and I'll do it again as it's a well run day on what is often a hot weather meeting. Always plenty of cheering on from the locals and the fine marshalling people. Not the most picturesque of runs but will be back cos I like it.

In full: Very enjoyable. First time I've run in this event and thought every aspect of it was great. The marshalling, organisation and race route were spot on and will definitely look to come back next year.

In full: this was one of my best races so far nice and pleasent people, thought it might get too hot starting at 11am but was very cool with a nice breeze, and not only you get a medal you get a baseball cap to will do it again next year for sure
