In short: Low-key, & all the more enjoyable for that!
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed the race; challenging hills but lovely views. Will definitely do it again (& bring some clubmates). Its a pity the field was so small - and was it perhaps just a little short of 10k?

In short: Enjoyable race - some hills but fairly good balance between up and down.
In full: Really enjoyed this race. The terrain is varied some road, some paths and some just on grass. It is well organised and friendly. There are some challegning uphill bits but also plenty of downhill bits to balance them out. Sencery is good and at £4 the race is great value.

In short: downhill dash at start =uphill finish plus other ups and downs Good fresh air and day out from London
In full: Well there were roads, grass, long grass, ups and down and more up and down, more roads, field edge footpaths and looping back to Charlbury for more roads and up - no down - to the finish. On the unseasonable hot day the cold water station was most welcome.
The fun run starting off together with us made it - fun as my friend was in the fun run (which was taken seriously).
Only gripe was the distance markers were in miles ( for a 10K race?)
Good clean toilets, easy parking.
Cheap

In short: A beautiful, if quite hilly, run through the Cotswolds. Deserves even more entrants.

In short: Ver good run but I would not say the definition of undulating was accurate it seems to undulate up nearly all of the way but that said I would definitely do it again

In short: Having a small field of runners means a lot of runners missed a great little race.
