In short: Well organised club race
In full: First time running here for me in beautiful village of hook norton. Good sized event - not too big not too small. Obv a fixture on a few club schedules this year. Undulating course both rural roads and village. well organised and a nice race

In full: Fantastic. This is my favorite race of the year, flawless organisation, a challenging course with a lovely final mile of downhill, perfect for picking runners off, enthusiastic marshalls, a t-shirt & a goody bag,and a wonderful clubhouse. I always bring the family, the kids love the smaller races at the end, and we finish off with a picnic and a local beer, perfect.

In short: It was a really good experience
In full: The organisation was good, not too busy and really nice marshals. It was mostly club runners but everyone was friendly. The run was quite tough but probably good for my training! Really happy with the water bottle and T-shirt too.

In short: Other comments do not match my experience. Goody bag was a drinks bottle and a bag of crisps, nothing else. Very clubby, poor organisation, chaotic at start. Upside, well marshalled.

In short: what goes up must go down....
In full: 2 laps of a basically rectangular course. out leg up hill, and the return leg downhill.
Not one for a PB attempt, I find it around 4 mins slower than my flat 10k time, though the scenery, and interesting distance makes up for it. Organisation is simply perfect. The race HQ / Village cricket pitch is so very Quintessentailly English, Race results online same day, a good morning out. One to be recomended, and an ideal route for hill training. Well don HNH !
