Very jolly all round.

In short: Great atmosphere, beautiful scenery
In full: A lovely atmosphere at the start and finish in the village school playground. Good organisation too, and a good warm up was put on too. Km markers were pretty accurate according to my Garmin, apart from the 10th - which was about 1.5km - making the distance just over 10.4km. That, combined with the hills, mean a PB was off the cards. Great race however, and congrats to all the organisers. Very good marshalling round the course, and lots of support coming through the village.

In short: Playful
In full: A slightly long course (that we were warned about) that the first half was quite a challenge. Would have been even more so in wet conditions but as we had a beautiful day the scenery was there to be enjoyed. First timer (so was the race organiser I later found out) who felt everything was organised very well. Glad I had this saturday off work as normally wouldn't of been to make this one. Congrats to all

In short: I love this race, through the woods where i train. Beautiful scenery although it is not an easy route. But what the heck, if you want to keep fit the tougher the better.

In short: If you can run this you can run any 10k
In full: Second time I have run this, once again it was very hot. Could we have an earlier start please? How about setting the 10K off and then the 3k? After the tough climb into Grovely Wood I enjoyed the race and the scenery but could have done without the extra .3 miles at the end. The ice lollies were a great post race boost!

In short: Small and challenging race with great atmosphere.
In full: Very well organised, free parking, clear directions and plenty of marshalls. There were less than 100 runners however there was a great atmosphere generated by the enthusiasm of both the crazy warm up lady and the very friendly organiser. We all started the race smiling; I really enjoyed the event. The run was a challenge every step, starting with a continuos 3k incline, than through woods and finally down a steep chalky path. The field was mixed abilities so there was competition (or company) for all if wanted. I travelled 25 miles to this event and thought it worth the effort, money going to a good cause too. My only dissapointment was no free food (bottled water was provided) at the end, i do not carry money whilst running so had to beg some candyfloss to keep me going.

In short: Hills not as bad as expected. Marshalling excellent and very vocal support for all at the end. A very well organised small event that deserves more support. Would recommend to everybody I meet although needs remeasuring.

In short: Tough but what's wrong with that...
In full: Yeah the first hill is a bit of a shocker, but it's not amazingly bad, just a steady uphill for a few kms. Hardly notable really. Once in the woods it's really nice, then a fast downhill near the end. Will definitely be back next year.

In short: This is a toughie, but a really great workout. Good if you are training for something longer.
