In short: gutted
In full: Already signed up for Sutton Fun Run and found Holly Prince run is on the same day!! Has the date been altered? Holly Prince Run one of my favourite of the year - so dissapointed. Hope HP dont lose numbers to the big event in Sutton. Always next year I guess!

In short: First 10k after several HM and a marathon. Great that it is run on a Saturday too. Hilly course so not one for smashing PBs but nice mix of runners and has a personal, welcoming touch. Stunning countryside and lovely local farmer's market afterwards.

In short: Excellent scenery. Same track as 2009 but still very enjoyable.
In full: Lovely atmosphere, great venue with beautiful countryside and some nice shady trees in places to help keep the sun off whilst running. Nice Tshirt and generous medal. Well organised and great fun- I did race in 09 and am glad I returned in 2010 too. Thank you.

In short: Brilliant event and great atmosphere. Good organisation, chip timing, great free race photos, nice medal and t-shirt, fun run plus load for the family to do. All in beautiful surroundings, and with a pub 100 metres from the finish line. Perfect!

In short: Super local well organised race
In full: An excellent local race. Not a PB course for time, but definately a PB course in how to organise a local friendly & enjoyable course. I would recommend this for everyone. Well done to everyone involved. Great location. Very good cause.

In short: Certainly not flat, but a great race, lovely atmosphere. I'll be back!
In full: Lovely village, great pub and farmers' market. Race well marshalled & organised. Yes, there were ups, but there was also a nice stretch of flat/downhill to compensate. T-shirt and a medal was unexpected. Jolly good value.
