In short: Awful Race would never do this again.
In full: I ran this in 65 minutes by which time they had run out of water and goody bags etc at the finish, was punishing to us beginners. Would definitely not do this race again.

In short: As a first race for me, it was great. Great course - found the hills 'challenging' - and nice friendly atmosphere. Water station would have helped.

In short: Not bad...the hill that you do twice is a bit overrated.
In full: The scenary was nice, the course wasn't too tough and there were plenty of runners of all types. The drwabacks were...1) no water stops which appeared to be tough on a number of newer runners 2) the distance from parking to the course and 3) the number of toilet facilities.

In short: Thoroughly enjoyable ;¬) with a moderate hill. Organisation could improve.
In full: PB for me - with the satisfaction of a moderately challenging course. Good for improving runners.
Organisation could improve - drinks station would be good, and there's a bottleneck on the way to the start. It's a kissing gate which only lets 1 person through at a time, a severe nuisance for supporters with pushchairs. Although I think it may have been Longstocking and Flash in the Pan lingering at the gate which contributed to the delay . . .

In short: Nice scenery and traffic free. Doing the hill twice hurts. Needs a drink station somewhere on the route.
In full: I enjoyed this race, except for the hill which was quite painful on both occasions. It's a lovely park to run through and great to face very little traffic. I was gasping for a drink, but no drinks station - with it being two loops, they'd only need one to keep us all happy. I thought the little plastic bag as a "prize" was a bit disappointing (and rather smelly!). But it was friendly and seemed well organised. I expect to be back next year.

In short: Attractive surroundings, and bit of a challenge
In full: Got a personal best, but the hill at the back of the loop is a real challenge and nearly killed me off both times we ran it! Lovely through the woods, perhaps a little under marshalled. Could definitely do with more water.
