In short: Good 2 lap 10K with a few good little hills thrown in. Enjoyable.
In full: This is mainly though a housing estate, but don't let that put you off. I would like to thank the marshalls who where very good. It is not traffic free but they kept the traffic under control for runners to cross and made sue that no-one got lost. I felt sorry for them as we had a thunder storm for the first lap and they still managed to smile and give encouragement to the runners. A good enjoyable 10K that I would recommend for anyone.

In full: nice route however poor marshalling of 10k race led to a group of runners going the wrong way

In short: Well organised, good atmosphere
In full: A good atmoshere, with a large support for a relatively small race. Organisation is great, and although there are some road crossings, good work by the marshalls ensured I didn't have to slow down once. Enjoyable race - I hope to be back next year.

In short: Nice local race
In full: I like this race, haven't got a clue why, but it always leaves me with a nice feeling. I like the ability to do 3 distances (done the 15k and now the 5k, so maybe the 10 in the future), like the nice finishing area which encourages runners & supporters to stay around chat & cheer on later finishers. Like the 3 laps as if you are doing the longer run you regularly go past a big cheering group near the finish. Overall, it leaves you with a nice warm feeling. Well organised, well marshalled. Keep it up Warndon.

In short: Well organised, fun day out
In full: First time here, but enjoyed. Route was mix of roads and footpaths, with some road crossings a nuisance with stops to allow cars by! Plenty of water stations and support enroute to keep you going...

In short: My local race, so maybe I'm biased...
In full: ...but then again, maybe that makes me more critical? Not the flatest of races, and the safety barriers can slow you down. Multiple laps makes for excellent spectating and support though, and good racing. Superb event extras with stands, police & fire engines & bouncy slide all there for the kids!

In short: Very well organised and marshalled. Quite a lot of fun.
In full: Mainly on wooded, paved paths, tracks and pavements in an urban environment. Quite pleasant and shaded but I didn't like the road crossings and I'm sorry but I ignored one marshall who tried to stop me.

In short: Good organisation, great marshalling.
In full: Love this race! Like the route, the organisation, the marshalling, the friendly atmosphere, the bargain entry, the option of three distances ... oh, and it's only 2 miles from home. What more could I say! Enjoyed it, thanks to everyone who made it a special race.
