In short: As usual - a fantastic race
In full: Will be back again next year (despite the M25 doing its best to make me miss the start this year - made it by the sking of my teeth).
Highly recommend this race - though you do need to get in early as it fills up quickly.

In short: Ding dong!
In full: Brilliant.
My club The Stragglers do it again. Fabulous race, and I felt amazing afterwards.
It's a race and a half. I couldn't help but try and give my all, busting a gut to keep up with and in front of those around me - even if it meant pulling a stupid face with exertion toward the end.
It is held in a fun and gentle esteem but once you are out there it's no holds barred in a fantastically competitive way.
The field stretches through the speed spectrum, from former Olympic Silver medallists down to fun runners so all abilities are catered for.
I adore running in mid-summers evening weather and this was perfect for what I love to do - certainly one of the best runs I've done this year.
Organisation is typically smooth, the Park course is free of any traffic and it's a great short blast round some greenery.
The t-shirt is great, light material & perfect summer colour too, overall fabulous value for £8 affiliated, and knowing the proceeds go to local charities gives you a content feeling.
Wonderful gathering as usual on the Hampton Hill Cricket Pitch with music, BBQ and frivolity all around - great for everyone of all ages.
Oh and before others say it, the human km markers are in the right place having checked them on MapMyRun - and don't forget it's 7.15km not just 7km.
I'll definitely be back next year for what has now been my best performance race of the past 2 years.
Love it.

In short: Glorious Traffic Free Event
In full: Enjoyed this reace immensely. Great run through parkland on a mix of grass, rough tracks and tarmac. Marshals encouraging and friendly. Get there early as it can take a bit of driving round to park.

In short: I'll do it next year - if it's cooler!
In full: The course has changed since I did it a few years ago, and is much improved because of it (no looking over your shoulder for getting lapped!). Its still a sun-trap in that part of the park, but the atmosphere and marshalling were great. BRING WATER as there's none on the route, and you need it!

In short: Hot, muggy and slow this year!
In full: At least I was.
Still a lovely race and I'll be back next year
Not sure if that last kilo marker is in the right place. The last k took about 3 mins longer than all the others.
