In short: Good for supporters. Lovley running in woods on tracks not road.
In full: Good for the supporters as thay get to see you 3 times before the finish. Liked the orange quarters at the end.

In short: Just about perfect
In full: What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening!
A great race - friendly, glorious setting - and I got a PB! I couldn't have asked for more, and I'll definitely be back next year.
I'd certainly second the call for a half at Westonbirt.

In short: scenic pootle around arboretum
In full: Tis a lovely race (and a fairly slow field as I was 4th!) but a fair few twists and turns which slow you down, but is a lovely way to spend an evening. Great organisation.

In short: Excellent run in very nice surroundings
In full: A very nice run in the evening sun. Not sure about the distance though, km markers seemed quite a bit out.

In short: Hot and dusty but a glorious setting.
In full: Very dusty to start but soon settled into a fine run. Was a bit warm too but I really enjoyed the route and the trees were well worth looking at. For a very worthy cause.
Would run again. Thanks to everyone involved.

In short: Gorgeous scenery - loved it!
In full: Having only ever ran the Castle Coombe 10k around the race track (last month) I didn't really know what to expect here! They sent me a route through the post beforehand, so could study that first, which was good! Was well mapped out on the day with Marshalls everywhere so no chance of getting lost! Def. value for money too, which always helps! Running around the trees was lovely, so many nice things to look at, part of me wanted to stop and have a look! Really hope to do this one again. Wasn't looking for any PB to compare with Castle Coombe as such different terrain but still managed to shave over 4 mins off of my time! Bonus! Got a little goody bag with a chocolate bar and a drinks bottle in. They also gave out bottled water at the end as well as orange segments...yum!

In short: What a great location for a run, family friendly, lovely scenery. Beats a road race any day
In full: I really enjoyed this one. Location is excellent and will be sure to return next year. 6 o'clock start was good so it wasn't too hot and the park wasn't crowded (apart from runners and spectators) atthat time of day. The starter gets my vote for "Best use of a traffic cone".
Agree with earlier comment on price. Bargain and could charge more, especially to raise money for such a worth while cause.
Almost broke my PB, will try harder next time.
