In short: Waddesdon 5K Is a lovely meeting
In full: Like this meeting lots - I know it's a 5k (and always has been) but has anyone thought of making this a 10k with 2 looks? That would make this a really fantastic meeting.

In short: A well run race in the country along mainly quiet lanes. Probably too many rolling inclines to get a really quick time. Excellent value for money. Even get given a goody bag. Well worth doing more than once. This will be my 5th year running.

In short: A fantastic off road 5k
In full: A great race in amazing grounds, loads of toilets and very effecient with collecting race numbers.
Wine also given out a prizes, will keep my husband happy.
Very different running half down hill half up hill, good for spectators too.
And a pb for me!!

In short: Another good evening out with VOAAC
In full: Another year, another mug, and better still - another PB!
A loudhailer or PA system for the start would have been useful as I had difficulty in hearing the pre-race instructions (I don't think I was the only one).
But that would really be just icing on an otherwise tasty cake.

In short: Very well organised and friendly race in great location
In full: Really enjoyed this race, even though the uphill section on the way back was pretty hard going. Organisation was excellent and the marshalls were superb too. First race I have been to where there have been no queues for the toilet as well! Well done VOARC and thanks for a great evening race. Will definately be back next year.

In short: Gorgeous setting
In full: This was my 1st visit here and I enjoyed the opportunity to drive the course before the race to gauge the steepness of the hill. I used both water stations on the way up and would even have used a third had there been one. Thank you to all the marshalls/helpers and the Trust. I really enjoyed the evening.
