In short: Well organised rural 10K
In full: A good early season 10K, with enough undulations/hills to provide a test of fitness. The race was very well organised, with plenty of marshals. The rural course was generally traffic free.
Preferred this year's start on Furze Lane, to running around the field last year.

In short: overall a good race
In full: friendly marshals, disappointed that they didn't do t-shirts for the larger person had to settle for a large at the end. However the race itself was well organised. Would run again.

In short: Hilly side of undulating.
In full: Described as undulating, but I would describe this is on the hilly side. Well organised, with lots of friendly marshals. The route isn't traffic free, but the marshals let you know when traffic is approaching, so I wouldn't recommend wearing a ipod. Nice atmosphere too. There's a steady climb from around 2k to 5k, with a fast down-hill at 7k and a killer hill at the end. Despite the climbs, I managed a PB.
