In short: Tough but enjoyable !
In full: My first 10K - Not the easiest introduction to my first event but practice helped - the hills are a lot smaller when you have done them before! Well organised and a good mix of runners - will do again next year.

In short: Heaven and hell.
In full: This race should be so much bigger - potentially it has everything. Marshalling has certainly improved since I ran the inaugural (extra long!) race but there is still a naivety to some aspects of the overall organisation though it's a very friendly and welcoming affair. And, yes, still waiting for the results.

In short: Super trail course with plenty of ups and downs.
In full: The course was excellent, forest trail setting with the odd log and tree root to hurdle and two testing uphill stretches on the back of the loop.
I found the marshalls to be perfectly cheerful and encouraging as well as instructive when needed to be. Toilets, bag storage all adequate and I was lucky enough to get a t-shirt and a banana. The lack of chip timing is certainly a con though.

In short: Very enjoyable, fun course.
In full: A really enjoyable race, the course was almost entirely cross country and featured some nice terrain and gradient changes.

In short: Nice course, well-organised, and local - marshalls gave some cheerful encouragement on the 2nd lap. Any idea when/where the results will be published? Only issue on the day other than rain was the promised event t-shirts were in poor supply.

In short: Nice location. The first green lungs of London going South East
In full: Comments from previous years are still relevant, and have not been addressed by the organisers, and wont be!
It's completely unacceptable not to record and finishing position and a time.
Further, it wouldn't harm some of the marshalls to encourage the runners and smile occasionally.
Oh and the T-shirts ran out well before the end!

In short: Hilly
In full: Just done this race for the first time . Reading previous reviews, it would be nice to have all the finishers times published. . Why not having a burger van , the start and finish looked a bit grim , marshals were friendly . This is a good race , lovely scenery . Organisers : YOU need to get all the participants published . Why the first 50 ? Will I come back ? Yes !

In short: At 4th attempt the distance was spot on 10k. Can't remember running a hillier 10k. Well organised, an enjoyable morning's racing. Thankyou Chislehurst.
