In short: great race slightly more undulating than expected
In full: Brilliant marshalls and for once no issues with traffic. Slightly chaotic slow start. But lovely run, fab T-shirt to keep you warm at the finish! Well done organisers.

In short: Not as good as last time I ran it
In full: Whilst a nice, friendly local race with a good mix of club and non-club runners of all abilities, I was disappointed this year with the finish. I came in somewhere mid-field - certainly not at the end but my time was not recorded, there was a long queue and there were only large t-shirts. Otherwise, a nice run with ideal weather. Shame about my time.

In short: Fast and well organised
In full: Enjoyable race, weather helped make it faster than I expected. Pretty market town for the first few k but the Phoenix trail part was, well, like a disused railway line. Good running surface though.
Bit of a scrum at the start but that's all part of the fun!
Nice goody bag and T-shirt, very good value. Back next year.

In short: Loved it, got a PB whoo!!!
In full: A brilliant race, relatively flat, glad it was raining, managed to get a BP so was really pleased, massive turn out. T-shirt and goody bag was nice. Many thanks to the marshalls and organisers and an extra special thank you to who ever found and handed in my I-pod. Thank you so much.

In short: 2nd year running at Thame at least I was faster than last year
In full: A good course with some good ups & downs as ever the hill at the end is a bit of a killer on weary legs. I was trying for 45mins but as ever i was just under 2 minutes out.
Marshalls with pom poms were as uplifting as ever.
My only gripe is with the "goody bag" which in the words of Sir Alan Sugar was full of toot, between the wife & I we had 5 packs of mint gum! and a little thing which reminds me to eat apples!!
The t-shirt however was fab, as it managed to keep of the wind & rain this year compared to the sun last year. But overall it was a fab race with nearly 900 people entered.

In short: Really well organised race on a great course. Supportive & cheery marshals all the way around! Could do with some portaloos as queues got a bit long in the leisure centre though.
