In short: I just love it
In full: My third time doing this race. I just love it. Small, nice scenery, very relaxed and wonderfully friendly atmosphere. Not a particularly easy course - definite undulations in there, but these are mainly in the first half of the race, ignoring the hill at the finish. And always a slightly unusual but brilliant memento - I will definitely use the beanie which was in there this year. And the cake and tea - much appreciated. Highly recommended!

In short: Really friendly girls only race - well worth getting up on Sunday for!
In full: Alchester Running Club were super friendly and wonderfully organised. Managed to get a PB but not sure the course is particularly fast (some cheeky little inclines in there). Very pretty route, lovely marshalls and great organisation mean I will be back next year.

In short: Unique event for ladies!
In full: Very friendly, lovely prizes, cake and route. Although the route is undulating and along paths in some places it is fairly fast. I really enjoyed running along the quiet roads and smooth tracks.

In short: great race thank you Alchester
In full: just seemed like there were fewer people this year? is that right? Not sure why, perhaps it clashed with another race.
