In short: An excellent race, well-run and quick
In full: What everyone else said!

Quick, a few undulations, and extremely well organised. Cheap too. Hats off to the organisers.

Plus a minute off my PB!

In short: As good as always
In full: One of my favourite events, this is a pleasant two lap course along the carriageways of closed roads in leafy suburban Fleet with chip timing. Thank you to the organisers, the marshals, other volunteers and the tolerant drivers. A nice medal, bottle of water, banana and choice of biscuit or fun size chocolate bar were waiting for us at the finish. I would have preferred to have paid an additional £1 for race number to be posted to me because I always struggle with attaching them to clothes I’m already wearing.

In short: Well organised and enjoyable
In full: An enjoyable local race, as with all urban races the scenery was a bit dull and there were too many cars around (although the roads on the course itself were closed and the course was very efficiently marshalled) but this was a very well organised event and excellent value for money. The town centre location meant that there was plenty of parking and the community centre was a good venue to wait for the start on a cold-ish day. Thanks to Fleet AC for excellent organisation and an enjoyable event.

In short: A good, well run local event
In full: Impressed with the organisation, the number & quality of marshals, and to get chip timing, medal, snack, lead vehicle for a very reasonable price was impressive.

Decent start location with indoor waiting, hot drinks, bacon butties and decent loos.

First lap through the high street with supporters was good, and a welcome boost on the second lap, but it's still a town centre run along roads and it is undulating.
Even so, lovely local running club that deserves a thumbs up for the day

In short: Rolling rolling, rolling
In full: Bang-on 10K according to GPS. Flatter than Yateley 10K which saves at least 30 seconds. Loved the uphill finish!

In short: Great Home. Town Race
In full: Well organised. Marshals fantastic and good to see residents cheering the runners on. Very pleased that they were to able close the roads for the most part, which many other 10ks do not do. Undulating course with good potential for a PB. Definitely will run it next year

In short: Great race and a new PB again this year
In full: This is a local race for me (5 minutes' walk from my house) and there's nothing to criticise - it's well organised, has encouraging marshals, a reasonable number of spectators, you get a medal and something to eat at the end and it costs £10. Great value, and I got a PB too and a bottle of wine for one of the team prizes too. It's a fairly dull two lap course and is undulating but nothing too horrible. Well done to Fleet & Crookham AC.

In short: A great way to start Sunday. Well organised and quick.
In full: Mostly flat. Encouraging marshalls and a reasonable number of spectators. I'm sure the final little slope got steeper on the 2nd lap but it was a fun race and I'm very happy with a new PB! Thank you Fleet and Crookham AC
