In short: My first time today, first of many I hope. Excellant and great fun.
In full: I had heard a lot of good things about this series, and I'm very happy to say they're all correct. Great organisation, simple to join, very friendly crowd, flat but challenging course, due to the deep muddy paths and puddles and lovely common views. Oh yeah, and it's free. Will be back next week and hopefully for many more Saturdays to come. Dont expect a PB if you normally run on roads though.

In short: Can't believe they do this for free - a must!
In full: Great atmosphere, very friendly so open to everyone with good range of abilities - some excellent standards and some beginners. How do they do this for free? The website for results and photos is brilliant.

In short: Fanastic 5k race/time trial and it's free too!
In full: Well run, results, photos up soon after the race. 9am start on Saturday avoids the dog walkers/strollers and great potential for PBs. Racing around footpaths on Wimbledon Common is great. Best bit is it's free, all you need to do is register.

In short: Visiting the UK and couldn't ask for a better race to take part in to meet the people who run here.
In full: I have been running / triathlons for over two years now and this was my first time out of the country and when I looekd up races I was happy to see a free and easy spirit race but one that is competitive. I didn't think I could get all three but this race also added some lovely scenery and I would love to help organize something like this in Central Park sometime in the future. Definately a great race for those looking to get some fresh air, meet quality people, have good clean competition, and start off the weekend on the right (or left!) foot. Hats off to the organizers who have been doing it for a long time each week (IAN)
