In short: Good race, but could be better In full: This is the third time I've done this race, mainly cos its in my local park and also the puds are delicious. There is definite PB potential as it is mostly undulating. Dont be put off by the 'hill' at the end - its more of a lengthy slope! The only downside to the race is the cost - £12/14 is a bit pricey for what you get. Date of review: December 5, 2011

In short: Up-hill!! In full: This was my second 10k ever, I work local (Matthew Walker to be exact, so no excuse not to do it). A very goo experience, friendly, could be a little more organised but overall the people and the cheering made my run a little faster! Date of review: November 22, 2011

In short: An enjoyable race In full: This is my wifes favorite race of the year. The last hill is a killer especially on gravel. Nice to have chip timing and results on line quickly. Will be back next year, for another Christmas pudding. Date of review: November 22, 2011

In short: The last hill hurt In full: First time at the event and I knew what to expect with the first hill as you turn onto the main road. But I hadn't realised the last hill would be quite that though.
Good organisation, picking up number was painless. The race instructions said presentation would be in the visitor centre so I nearly missed that. Only found out it was at the finish about 1 minute before the presentation.
Good support on the final section and well marshalled event. Will be back again next year hopefully, really enjoyed it. Date of review: November 22, 2011
