In short: Really good meeting
In full: I have entered the PR 10k four times and each year it's always good - well organised and run - plenty of marshalls and (Thame 10k take note) has three water stations which on a warm day as often this run is was very welcome. Well done all concerned and see you next year.

In short: A very nice run, organised and well marshalled but lacked the friendly you usually get at these club races.

In short: Very hilly but 3 water stations and well organised
In full: This is a hilly course and was challenging on a hot day. Excellent organisation and plenty of marshalls. 3 Water stations which were much appreciated. Lovely toilets, we will be back!

In short: Not my definition of a fast course - good organisation but lacking in atmosphere
In full: Lots of marsalls out on the course, but not one word of encouragement or anyone telling me I was 1st Lady, until one guy at 8.5km - not even any announcements at finish. On the plus side, a scenic run through the countryside, with stress free parking and toilets.
