In short: A good start to the new year - nice atmosphere and plenty of encouragement along the way from the many marshals and bystanders
In full: The unseasonably warm weather and the rain holding out until the afternoon were both plusses where this race was concerned. It was narrow on the path at the start but the course started to spread out after the first few km. The route was not quite as flat as I'd imagined it to be - not a hard slog either, but there were a few bits early on where I felt my pace slowing, and the double-loop around Kensington Gardens was rather agonising as the lead runners sped past before I was even half-way round the 1st lap! The downhill section followed by the flat finish were a very welcome conclusion to the race.

In short: Good way to start year
In full: well-organised; nice to run along serpentine; friendly marshalls, especially guy at the end urging everyone to sprint. good to see kids race too. on the negative side, the loop midway is a bit dull.

In short: Blow away the hangover - start 2012 on a positive!
In full: Well organised by Serpies and one to start the year off the right way. Very well marshalled and chip timing for this no nonsense couple of laps of Hyde Park. Free red socks for all winners!

In short: Winter Wonderland!
In full: It's a low key, local event with a good mix of runners, and quite a few slow ones, so a nice, relaxed, amateur atmosphere. Running alongside the Serpentine on New Years Day is great fun, though the course also goes through boring parks of the park, and does do a dull loop, but the main fun is that it starts and finishes right next to Winter Wonderland! Having a mug as a souvenir is a nice touch. Definitely do it next year!
