In short: So glad my home 10k is the best I've run
In full: I missed this last year as I was running to the beat and I am so glad I chose this one this year. I run most of my training runs along the Worth Way so I know every slight slope which really helped me get a PB.
The organisation was excellent and my Garmin made the length spot on which is often something I gripe about in other 10k's. I will definitely run this next year.
Personally I don't think there was too much wrong with the course. I bit congested early on with some dancing through the stinging nettles but I actually quite liked the road part at the end as I could see people to target with my explosive finish ;-)

In short: Friendly and well organised, with excellent marshalls
In full: A very enjoyable race, largely along country trails with last mile or so along roads in the town. Well organised, with lots of marshalls who were very supportive.
Would do it again

In short: An enjoyable run that I would recommend
In full: This run takes you down a long trail for most of it and I was pleased that the marshalls pointed out the potholes as some parts were a bit dodgy underfoot. The race was in a lovely area and very well organised and obviously in memory of someone very special which was made clear at the beginning and Im sure gave everyone a boost. I would do this again and agree with a previous comment about possibly changing the end as it takes away from the beauty of east grinstead.

In short: pleasant race, good atmosphere,
In full: good race, nice sunny day. Well marshalled. Nice grounds to run around, however quite small gaps in some areas of the race so got a little squashed up. Overall enjoyed the race, would do it again next year.

In short: Lovely race, generous club
In full: I came up from Brighton to run this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well off my PB but this is more of a trail run than a flat-out road race but there is a fast road section in the closing stages after most of the course on scenic pathway. Very generous goodies, a free t-shirt when you collect your number and a welcome goody bag at the finish with water, sports drink and banana. Marshals throughout the course and very friendly atmosphere, highly recommended.
