In short: Challenging but rewarding 10km
In full: Ran this in 2011 and 2012. Very different weather conditions (2011 wet, 2012 hot) but with the same end result. It's an undulating course, which seems to catch some first-timers off guard (I assume somewhere a website describes it as flat?) but the encouragement from the marshalls is great, the water stops are well-organised, and there is a fun run and plenty for kids to do around the park. There was a bit of an issue with race results in 2012, but I don't have an issue waiting a few days for results anyway, so didn't really bother me at all. Will be doing again in 2013 for sure.

In short: Hot run in the forest
In full: Well organised family day out. Kids enjoy (well they ran) the 3K before and were very pleased with their efforts.
10K is route is easy to follow, hot day so water stops were at the right point.
Well organised race would do again

In short: very hot and hilly
In full: excellent organisation aside from the delay due to technical errors.. good marshalling overall and split for 10k and 5k clearly marked and called out by marshalls.
friendly atmosphere.
very hot day but good amount of water stops and sponges so well done there.
surprised still no results for 2012 on the site at 9pm sunday eve..
probably would not do again as very undulating and no real shade if hot so quite hard off road race.

In short: Well organised, family event
In full: Undulating course on trails around Alice Holt Forest, the hill at the 4k and 9k is tough!
Well organised event with a 10k and 5k race and then 3k, 1k races and even a 60m dash for the kids. A bit pricey to enter, but well signposted and marshalled and good support at the start/end. Nice idea to give out filled water bottles at the end - a practical memento (along with the medal) and saving on cups.
