In short: That hill twice is a challenge in anyone's book!
In full: this is my local park so know every nook and cranny and still that darn hill gets me! really good organisation and great support from marshals and locals alike. Traffic free, great cafe's on hand for tea and cake. that darn hill twice though...

In short: Excellent race
In full: I really enjoyed this race. After tackling Spring Hill last week at Tunbridge Wells the hill in the park falls more into the short sharp slope category and you do get a couple of really good downhill stretches to compensate for it. The organisation and marshals were very good and the fact that the whole run was inside the park made it totally traffic free. I got a PB on this one, so all told very happy and will be back next year.

In short: well organised, very pleasant route, with good atmosphere- just be ready for the hill (twice!)
In full: Really enjoyed this race- Greenwich park is local for me so dead easy to get to- loads of parking and a cafe near the start/ finish. Well organised and well-marshalled, good atmosphere with lots of support from marshalls/ public- you do run a couple of laps of the park, but not boring as good views/ pleasant surroundings- and then there is the hill that you run up twice, which is a challenge! Result sheets printed off to view really quickly and posted on Cambridge Harriers website on day of the race. Will be back next year (and maybe before then for some training on that hill?)- online booking would be preferable.

In short: At Last A Sub 40 mins 10k
In full: A race in my local park, where I run anyway is always worth doing and this 10k is small enough and well organised enough to run. Also well pleased to have finally run a sub 40 mins 10k, all be it being 39mins 59 secs !

In short: 2nd year on the trot and will be back
In full: Well organised race with good marshalls.
Challenging hill, which you do twice, but keeps things interesting!
Good value for a London 10km and probably one of the best.
Good that there are not too many runners because some of the route would get clogged up.
Highly recommended if you live in London as easy to get to by public transport etc.
Will be back next year.

In short: Scenic, friendly and a great start to a chilly Sunday morning
In full: Congrats to Cambridge Harriers for their organisation, pre-race instructions and encouraging marshalls on the day.
The cold slowed me up a bit due to asthma but that's just one of those things in this weather.
Such a lovely park, great views and enough challenges to make the course interesting.
I ran the 2K as well and that was really fun too.
Well done all and see you next year.

In full: Well done Cambridge, well organised as usual, I haven't done this for a couple of years and really pleased I did it today, excellent course, and I loved the hill. Also well done to all the marshalls as it was very cold this morning.
