In short: Great scenic course, a water station would have been nice
In full: Enjoyed this one, all offroad, great countryside. No waterstations though which was only disappointment on a very warm sunday morning. Otherwise thoroughly recommend!

In short: Enjoyable, off-road 10K over lovely farm roads and easily runnable footpaths
In full: Really enjoyed this race, though admittedly the glorious weather contributed a lot to that. A varied mix of trails - some tarmac, farm roads and footpaths - through lovely rural scenery. I guess it could be a bit muddy had it have been wet but no problems today. Smallish (<200) field of runners on wide paths meant no congestion and plenty of passing opportunities.
Good marshalls and nice T shirt as memento.
First time at this race and won't be my last.

In short: Really enjoyed this off-road course
In full: Been running 15 months and done numerous 5 and 10k races and I think this is my favourite so far. Lovely scenery, pretty flat and not too busy so no hold ups on narrow paths. I am sure if it had rained the last week it would have been a very challenging course!!

In short: Splendid off road race over an odd distance!
In full: Lovely event this, in glorious countryside on good quality paths. Well organised and a nice t shirt memento. It would be nice if it could be somehow extended to a full 10k but that is only a minor gripe.
