In short: Fab little 10k
In full: Fell upon this race, and I am very pleased I did! Hill at 4k, but generally this race isn't too hard.

In short: Very good race for such a small village
In full: Very enjoyable race. One steepish hill and a climb to the finish but otherwise fine. Good surfaces underfoot. Would be great if they could achieve their limit of 100 runners. A few
adverts placed around Salisbury would probably help.

In short: Well organised and friendly race
In full: Just completed the 2010 race. Well organsied and friendly event, lots of parking. 58 people in the field so not massive. 95% of race on the road running through narrow lanes, last 1km or so you join a busier road so a few cars coming towards you at speed. Hills not too bad but there is a small steep incline at the 4km mark which was earlier than expected, however, finnish line is on a hill, so the last 300 mtrs is upwards. Few raises on the way round too. Nice medal at the finnish line with a bottle of water as well. The only minor complain I would have is that the two water stations en route, the first was at 3km which was too early. Should be 5 and 8km's, but not a massive issue.

In short: Fairly steady route with a few gentle hills
In full: I enjoyed today. A very pretty route starting and finishing in a beautiful village so lots to see and take your mind off the running! A fairly steady route, the hills were nice and gentle and has good PB potential. The only suggestion would be to have a water stop by the finish line just for the instant rehydration hit at the end.

In short: Road race with some hillwork
In full: This friendly low key race attracted both club runners and beginners. Set amongst village roads with little/no traffic it offered well placed km and route markers. Leave a little in the tank for the last 500metres.

In short: Friendly and pleasant village race.
In full: Smallish field of about 90, most entered on the day. Attracts a fair few club runners as well as beginners. Challenging hill at 4k and a short sharp one up to the finish. Beautiful countryside, quiet roads and a friendly feel all round. Many thanks.

In short: I'd forgotten that hill at 4k...
In full: Nice local race and well organised. Nasty hill at 4k though and you've got to dig slightly deep to find the energy to sprint uphill to the finish.
