In short: Bigger goodie bag than last year!
In full: Muggy to be running an 8km but the goodie bag more than made up for it - this is definately the best goodie bag I've ever received! Got the feeling that not many people actually ran this, but walked which is ok but yet again like last year I was running on my own around the majority of the lake.

In short: A great race for those running with or without a buggy!!
In full: A brilliant atmosphere with plenty for the supporters to do while others running. Mostly women but some men and a mix of those running/jogging with buggies and without. Was amazed at how fast the fastest buggy came through the finish - not to be underestimated! Great scenery too, basically a lap and a little bit around Virginia Water lake. Am hoping for chip timing next year though, but would definitely do it again. First year for this race, hope they decide to do it again.

In short: Friendly run around the lovely Virginia Water. Amazing goodie bag!
In full: Friendly atmosphere, mainly mothers with their kids but also a few dad's and also a few running without a buggy - like me. Very friendly atmosphere, gentle warm up at the beginning. Only niggle is that there were no markers at all although the 1 water station was at the half way point. Amazing goodie bags (yes 2!) consisting of baby food & 2 bibs plus toiletries, can of diet coke, twix, coupons. Would run again as well organised, friendly and it's always lovely running around Virginia Water. The rain just about held off for us! Hope it's held again.
