In short: Hot with a short hill in the middle
In full: Lovely event. Excellent organisation on the day with good attention to detail. Good communication over the PA, a proper finish line, excellent and sufficient number of marshalls - all in all a really good day out. My 21 month old daughter even made her debut, running the 100metre dash and even getting a medal.
One thing that's a bit strange is the results are as yet (ie: two days later) not posted on the website, whereas I think they've generally been posted on the day in recent years. This is more me impatiently wanting to know how I did (the heat and the profile made it hard to measure on time alone) than any criticism of the excellent organisers.

In short: Great race in a wonderful setting
In full: This is a tough-ish 10K, which is meticulously well organised whilst still maintaining a village fete atmosphere. it's fantastic value and the course goes through some lovely scenery.

In short: Quintessentially English!
In full: I love this race. It was hot today and I was breathing hard and sweating buckets, yet I was running around thinking how lucky I was to be running through the beautiful countryside of Hampshire finishing on a lovely village green. No chance of a PB on this course as none of it is flat but that's not what this race is about. Organisation was great - again. It's a tough course for a 10k but for some reason I think this scores highly in beginner friendliness. Looking forward to next year.
