In short: Well organised 10k with a surprising good momento!
In full: Overall a enjoyable, well organised 10k - the course is flat but not particularly memorable with 3 laps (aggh..laps!!) and a lot of time spent on roads. However, there was a great atmosphere and a suprisingly good quality momento at the end!

In short: Great marshalling. Super slick organisation. A great little race.
In full: Great organisation. Supportive marshalls throughout. The course was so-so. I liked the bits in the park (even if it was windy), but the first part of the road section wasn't so great. Lots of kerbs, corners and cars (especially on the first lap when I had to go onto the road at times to get a clear path). Results online the same day. Lovely momento.

In short: 3 laps - bad, organisation - good
In full: I could not seem to get excited about this race before, during or after which was reflected by my not-great result. I really don't like laps, although I did enjoy the added challenge of not getting lapped (avoided it by about 10 seconds!).
The organisation was excellent all round, well done Sutton Runners. Friendly, helpful efficient marshalls, well organised start and finished, clean toilets with NO queue 10 minutes before the start, and a lovely unusual glass trophy thing.
I also enjoyed collecting 6 prizes afterwards - none of which were for me I hasten to add, but for club members who had already left. Well done Stragglers for winning nearly everything :o)

In short: Nice work out
In full: Like to to this one as I ran my first X-country race in B. Park in 1953.Pity about the girl tripping over the speed hump just as I was scared of doing, otherwise it was a pleasant morning run.

In short: Who'd have thought it could be so much fun to be lapped?!
In full: The organisation of this race was great, no toilet queue either, great marshalls, lovely memento. Downsides: the crush over the bridge and the uppy downy kerby bits (I know that there isn't much that can be done about that though!). I rather liked being lapped, mainly because I knew lots of the people doing the lapping (but I wish the people at the back with me had thought about being lapped and kept left a bit more). Hopefully I will be lapped by less people next year.

In short: if you take away the fact that you have to do 3 laps. this isn't a bad way to spend a Sunday morning in May.
