In short: Slick no problems 10 miler
In full: A fun well organised course. A couple hills but still a fast route.
For late comers (like me) it would have been great to have a sign directing us from HQ to the start line. Other than that really enjoyed the run and will be back next year.

In short: Very good event.
In full: A good, mostly traffic free event for real men and for real women, an easy walk down from Dorking station. Not exactly flat, and consequently challenging, there might have been better signage from race HQ to the start, but the run itself was quite pretty although without a rutting fox in sight.

In short: Excellent and challenging run!
In full: Very well organised and a nice challenge with hills along the way. The goody bag could replace the lenore and chilly crisps though but well worth doing!

In short: Lovely race and ta for the cool weather
In full: LOL at the fact they brought the start forward to embrace the cooler weather and nearly made it rain. The cooler weather meant that this race was as enjoyable but much faster with several people recording PBs this year. It's a must in the Surrey calendar and would recommend that everyone do this race at least once. A lot of effort goes into organising events. Thank you DMVAC and look forward to seeing you again next yr.

In short: Lovely route, however watch out for Traffic
In full: Excellent HQ, however lack of local interest, on course support makes race curiously atmosphere free. Roads are busy with other traffic, today had to contend with a vintage car rally, bike race and local 4x4s; so hardly relaxing running. Marshalling very sparse; however credit to the father/daughter outfits in the last 2 miles who were very encouraging.

In short: Good organisation and great PB potential
In full: First time of doing this race and was impressed. Very scenic and slightly undulating course on surrey back roads. Excellant marshalling and good value for money.
