In short: well done Wargrave Runners
In full: Fantastic (though very hot) weather, great organisation, scenic run, most hilly course I've ever run but all the better for that. Water stations were fab (well done all you scouters and guiders) and marshalls were great too. Cakes looked lovely but I was too 'spent' (the only word that adequately describes how I felt at the end) to buy one - didn't even look in my goody bag until after I'd showered at home. I think I'll be back next year.

In short: Well organised race, pleasant course, far too hot.
In full: Excellent organisation, a pleasant village setting and an interesting and varied course make this a good race to do. Far too hot and humid this year and full marks to the organisers for not only including three water stations but ensuring that they were most efficiently staffed, often by enthusiastic children. As I run poorly in the heat this really helped me to get round. Good drinks provision at the finish, too, and a welcome goody bag with a decent t-shirt.

In short: Very well organised race, excellent course and venue
In full: If only it hadn't been so hot! Another well organised race at Wargrave. Three water stations in 10k plus ample drinks at beginning and end were just what was needed. Course is scenic and atmosphere very friendly.

In short: why couldn't they make it cooler?
In full: Great organisation, great crowd, great muffins by the brownies (or brownies by the muffins?). Hills and heat slowed me a bit, but good supply of water including kids offering to throw it over me! My friends have made the obvious ripostes to the T-shirt slogan: 'In my mind I am a winner'.

In short: Friendly, well organised race through beautiful countryside
In full: Very well organised, with plenty of marshalls and friendly staff. Nice goody bag with t-shirt.
The course undulates a little, but nothing major.
