In short: Well organised race
In full: My first time running this local race and I will be back in the future. A very quick first four miles followed by a longish hill thru' the fifth mile. I was a bit tired after the first four so found the hill a struggle. Course not traffic free but well marshalled so no concerns. Nice finish at the local school and good amenities provided. Well done Highworth running club

In short: Well organised race.
In full: Excellent and well organised 10k. Plenty of marshalls for encouragement and traffic management as not on traffic free roads. Testing course as there is a medium hill at 2k then undulates for 3K. Managed to break 40 mins and over one minute faster than last year.

In short: Tough Race
In full: A lot harder than last year. Much more mud, managed to fall over in the mud pit at about three miles then again in the river near the end, a shock to the muscles. Really well organised race, everyone should do it at least once!

In short: Second time and enjoyed it.
In full: A good well organised half marathon thru' the countryside around Swindon, a few hills but nothing too tough. I enjoyed the weather and preferred it to last year's warm day. Be back next year.

In short: Undulating course with a couple of long hills, very well organised.
In full: Good turnout and the weather was kind. Not traffic free but the marshalls were very good. Found the last 3 miles hard but I set off too quick - no change there. Will be back next year.

In short: Enjoyable midweek race
In full: A good testing course around the country lanes of Pewsey, lots of up and downs but nothing to daunting, I got a PB but it was my first time at this distance. A very good turnout and now thinking about doing the half there in a few weeks time.

In short: Good trail race
In full: The race changed from 4.5 to 5 miles due to some course concerns but still a very enjoyable challenging course around Barbury Castle. Nice race HQ at the shooting school. Lots of hills but nothing too steep.

In short: Hard work on a hot day but enjoyable.
In full: An enjoyable run which would only have been better if a little cooler. The race was around Marlborough Downs with a few hills, so no way a PB race. The organisation was very good with two extra water stns due to the heat. Will be back next year.

In short: Good race over a new course
In full: Had a mare with my Garmin due to the rain, but managed to go sub 40 for the first time. It was a bit confusing at the start but no concerns once you got going and well marshalled.
