In full: Beautiful course up to and around the stunning Stowe estate . Undulating terrain throughout. Local flavour in buckets with registration, and bacon sarnies in the local pub. Friendly, well organised, everything you want from a sunday AM. Recommended.

In short: GREAT 10K
In full: I enjoy the Buckingham 10k and did it last year, it is challenging with the slopes along Stowe avenue and with good weather the views of Stowe are breathtaking. My only criticism is that the medal is identical to last years, I understand with it being a smaller scale race that medals were purchased in bulk some time ago but I at least would have liked the year engraved on it.

In short: Another cracking Buckingham 10k!
In full: A local but firm favourite, great organisation, friendly marshals and brillient route. Some tough climbs, especially between 6 - 7km but the final 1km back to the finish is quick.

Well worth it for the view of Stowe house & gardens alone!
