In short: Fantastic scenery, watch out for extra .6 km at end of advertised 15k!
In full: First time running this.
Very well marshalled and organised. Extremely scenic though very hilly. Only challenge I had was in finding the cricket club (map not great..). Did get one surprise as I wound up my speed for last 500m (according to GPS) only to find that there was an extra 600m to run beyond 15k.

In short: Brilliant race, stunning views, great organisitaion well done Tring!
In full: My second running of the race - for some reason I only rememebred the first hill! Given that there are a lot more - my selective amnesia must have been due to my body trying to erase the pain! That said just a great race, wonderful atmosphere and shows that a small local running with commited members can put on a first class event - well done Tring!

In short: Stunning scenery if you have time to look ..Very tough race..
In full: 1st time for me and it won't be my last, fantastic route through stunning countryside, but it's tough the first hill is hard, but the second hits you just when you have nothing left. I was fooled into thinking the finish was in the same place as the start, so the last 1/2 mile was a killer. I will be back next year for sure well done Tring RC
