In short: Great effort from a fairly small village
In full: Well organised, well supported and friendly atmosphere. A few bottlenecks on the way round and goody bag was lacking the bag element but otherwise superb. There was definitely a nice medal in response to Glyn.

In full: This is an excellent race, good mix of runners and a superb atmosphere. Very well supported and well organised. Can't agree with the review below - medals were given out at the end of the finishing funnel.

In short: Your taking the p*** by not bothering with the right medal
In full: What a joke , we have a double gold olympic medalist starting the race with his medals and you couldn't be bother to give us an 09 medal - shame on you , we give you our money, travel at our own cost to the event and train without a memento. Disgraceful - a mars bar at the end summed up your commitment and attention to detail.

In short: a great scenic undulating 10K, well worth getting out of bed for
In full: well organised jaunt around the Goring countryside. 10k of undulating (almost traffic free)roads. weather was fabulous, not quite a PB course, but my best time for 18months. twisty narrow final 300ish meters minimises sprint finish, but a minor point in a great race. will definately be back next year.

In short: Beautiful scenery, challenging hills, well-organized
In full: I really enjoyed this race, though I was mortified to be beaten by the camel. The organization was excellent for such a huge number, but the queues for medals and drinks at the end were a bit too long, I got rather chilled. The free cup of tea warmed me up nicely.

In short: Nice race, good local support and a free cup of tea at the finish
In full: Organised to raise funds for the local school and well supported by marshalls and the local community. Definitely not a PB course because of the hills, but a good test of leg strength and a fun down hill finish, although having to run past the start with still 0.5km to go was psychologically challenging!
