In short: My favourite race in the UK bar none. very well organised, friendly, and scenic. It retains the feel of a local race despite now being in the regional class. All weather facilites with bar / lounge and large grounds with bar n bbq.

In short: Lovely race in Warwickshire countryside
In full: This was the first time I ran the Arden 9. Having just done the Blakedown Bolt 2 days previously, it was a close call! Glad I did it, superb race, well organised, and nice distance too.

In short: Nice race and good mix - great weather and organisation
In full: Nice race. Turned up early as parking at the sports centre limited. Not especially hilly but some narrow bits of the course. Good mix of runners and enjoyed the day - nice distance - would do again and definitely recommend :D

In short: A well-organised run through charming countryside
In full: A fine event. Only small gripe: could have done with a carpark marshall a bit earlier as cars were flowing in to the relatively small already full car park and gillying around trying to find alternative parking. Perhaps even a marshall up the road to direct us to the station park.

In full: Liked the course, very good organisation. will be back. Would like to have seen more support for the 'later' runners coming in (maybe have the presentation a little later or by the clubhouse) but overall well done.
