In short: Extremely well organised 10k race on undulating roads
In full: This was an extremely well organised race. Loads of parking at Chessington and great pre & post race facilities in the community college meaning no hanging around in the cold.

Undulating course, well marshalled. Not particularly scenic so not such a memorable race

In short: Great marshalls and a good course
In full: Fourth time I have run this race; route is nice and the profile is such that a PB is on offer. Marshalls are plentiful and welcoming, even in some rather grim drizzle

In short: Very pleased to have finally beaten the 40 min barrier
In full: Very well organised race, and a fast course. Chip-to-chip timing is an improvement on last year and the college hall is one of the more luxurious pre-race venues (beaten only by the Queen's Stand at Epsom racecourse).
