In short: Great race, great atmosphere. Cloud cover I suspect was a blessing, as it's quite open. Only complaint was the lack of a 9k marker. Would do again

In short: Gotta love a Saturday morning job on Salisbury plain!
In full: A really well organised race with a fantastic scenery. Although I did fall into a tank trap whilst staring stupidly at the parachutists landing in the field along the track! Brilliant atmosphere, thoroughly highly rated

In short: Well organised pleasant run that need's support
In full: Good little race, homely and welcoming feel and not a bad course, tough out but not too bad back and definitely has PB potential. Chip timing nice but not essential and wonder if cost (£15 for a non-club runner on the day) puts folks off as not as many runners as last year. May have to consider price of entry but definitely worth running and they need runners support to keep it going I'd guess. Enjoyed it.

In short: Fab event, challenging course but really good. Excellent organisation, well marshalled.
In full: A really great event. Avon Valley College is a good Start/Finish location. The course is challenging but virtually traffic free - most is on tracks over Salisbury Plain. Not a big event but that doesn't detract from a well organised 10K that I thoroughly recommend.

In short: I was covered in crop spray from the tractor spraying the field next to the water station and was really ill for weeks, bad lungs and a toxic line came out across my fingernails! Let's not mention the itching and peeling skin, not from sunburn! n

In full: Wonderful little run along the river avon then up to the Army Training Area, with a great last 2.5ks to the finish. Hope it attracts more runners as the years go on. Really well worth it...many thanks to the gunners for their help on a saturday morning
