In short: Fun for the entire family
In full: A punchy 10k course for the more serious runner balanced by a 5k and 1k for the family. We need more races like this.

In short: A chance to run in beautiful surroundings
In full: West Wycombe Park is a beautiful setting. A perfect way to spend a Sunday morning! The 10k route had three hills, but the scenery provided a distraction, and should not discourage newcomers to this event. A relaxed feel to the day (easy car parking, friendly collection of numbers, encouraging marshalls and refreshments), was the product of very good organisation.

In short: Superb scenery - bonkers hills
In full: Fantastic setting which allowed me to take my mind off the three vicious hills! Great race though - just could not get round very quickly!

In short: Very rewarding at the finish.
In full: Beautiful scenery and a lovely park to run in. No roads, just pure Buckinghamshire countryside. It would be great to see even more people enter next year, especially more women in the 10km race, and take on those hills. The sense of accomplishment at the end is unbeatable! Sign up for 2013!

In short: A great reace for all the family to enjoy
In full: This is one of my favourite races with a good mix of hills and flat terrain. The hills are a real challenge, but with a lovely sense of achievement at the top. A lovely friendly environment that welcomes the whole family either as runners or supporters.

In short: A real challenge
In full: Apart from nearly missing the venue (could do with a sign on main road), I really enjoyed it. Hope the sheep have recovered.

In short: Challenging 10k, with plenty of hills in a lovely location for a great charity
In full: Well done Sam and all involved in putting this one on. The last hill was a shock to the system (should have checked the map more closely!). Excellent organisation, a fantastically scenic venue, good atmosphere and even the weather was kind!
