In short: Excellent Race - Wargrave Runners should be proud of themselves.
In full: This is the best organised race I have entered. Everything, and I mean everything, ran like clockwork. Numerous marshals and locals giving lots of encouragement around the course and even a couple of showers on the way round which were very much appreciated on this warm sunny day. This is the second time I have ran this race and although my time was 3 minutes quicker than last year I was disappointed I didn't break my target of under 50 minutes. I will definitely be back next year to try and achieve this goal. Well done again Wargrave Runners, you all deserve a big pat on the back and see you next year.

In short: Well-organised on the day - but I'm still waiting for my entry pack!
In full: A less intimidating course than reviews would suggest - even I didn't have to walk. Some roads are very narrow and the presence of runners, two-way motor traffic AND cyclists taking part in another event was scary.

In short: Excellent organisation
In full: I knew there were some hills but didn't think much about it. The scenery was superb on the hill sections so we just distracted ourselves with that. The people with the hosepipes at the second and third waterstops should be knighted - thank you it was MUCH appreciated. We like to do loads of different races and never do the same one twice, but we will be back for this one next year. Great t-shirt and we both got PB's! Ranking people in their potential timings really helped:-)

In full: Slightly hilly but very pleasant course, sufficient drinks stations and friendly locals with cooling hoses if needed. Organisation is good and the t-shirts are definately worth collecting.
