In short: Well organised race on a fairly undulating course.
In full: Will be back next year again but would like a little more than a cup to remember it by. Interesting scenic course with some good inclines to keep you on your toes.

In short: Great value race and challenging!!
In full: This review is for Princes Risboro, not Hughendon.
A real snip at £12, entries on the day an extra £2, I think. Great value. Well organised, well supported, fantastic marshalls. Scenary great, it may be more difficult in the sun, altho a 9.30 start good.
A small but v friendly field 250 - 300 I would say, with a mixture of club and non-club runners.
Not an easy course at all, quite undulating. Mug and orange juice at the end. Dont bother paying £50 to enter London 10k, when you can do this one instead. Well done VOAAC!!!

In short: Fantastic classic hill race.
In full: This is a challenging hill race on the chalk scarp above Wendover. Everyone should do this at least once. It is a little gem. Dont be put off by the hill bit, you can walk that! :)

In short: Top road race in the country
In full: I really, really enjoyed this one - 90% on roads for good traction, undulating, scenic, well-organised and good, fast competition.
Despite the hills I got a PB by 50 secs and felt like I was in a real race. Loved it!

In short: Always the week after Thame 10K and is always cooler which is a big help. Enough up and downs on the route to let you know you have done it but without being gruelling. Enjoyable race.
