In short: 10K around Quins Rugby League ground, not Wimbledon common of Wombles fame
In full: The event wasn't that well organised - no information on the website (which is currently out of action so no race results after 4 days) and the stewards sent the race leaders in the wrong direction before sending them back again at one point. Although close to Wimbledon Common the race was in fact in Raynes Park at the Harlequins RL ground. The race itself wasn't that interesting, a few gradients to provide some challenge on an otherwise dull route (2 1/2 laps around a playing field and along a wooded trail).

In short: Poor organisation
In full: 2nd race in a week run by the same people and both times i weren't 100% on the route before starting and even during the race, some people did goth e wrong way...."just follow the bike!!" round a field a few times and through the forest, twice, the latter was ok for a trial run. T-shirts were for Raynes park 10k, medals are of poor quality. Directions on the website would be nice I was looking for Richardson evans sports ground would have been easier to say harlequins league ground or anything on the website, esp as I didn't know the area. Water, energy bar and free massage, allbeit brief were nice touch but definitely needs improvement on the organisation front.
