In short: I liked this so much I aim to make it a regular. Well organised, friendly, attractive scenary, and a good mix of people. The post race food, drink and activites made it a good social run too

In short: A challneging time for runners and organisers because of the unusual heat. It is not the best or worst half marathon I have done and clearly the organisers want to make this good. The course was moderately challenging and attractive

In short: The view after the steady climb is well worth it and whilst reasonably challenging a PB is possible. Well organised and friendly, a good one for first timers

In short: This is a programme of events rather than just one race and in the sunshine was a really enjoyable experience. Well adminstered with water station, nice for those not so used to the distance, or this park! ... Hilly with a challenging last kilometre

In short: It was my first time and am a convert and would do this again because it was beautiful, challenging, tough, very well marshalled and administered. I got with 4 seconds of my personal best but I begin to think I rise to a challenge!

2009 Gunnersbury Park 10k Challenge

In short: Relaxed and friendly atmosphere - the organisation was relaxed too!
In full: In the several races I have done I have noever experienced such relaxed organisation, it was very nearly horizontal! ... 'follow the man on the bike' is different, we could not see the bike until the word 'go' was said .... Marshalls could have stood with km signs, the 8k sign was a welcome treat. Quite a few marshalls were happy and engaged without a couple of them it would have been possible to get lost!
Very good location, shame about the toilets and tube access on the day (good job it was an 11am start!) .... Would do it again in the hope of it being better organised, signed, and having something happening at the end. Great value, good atmosphere and friendly team. Even with adding on another 0600 metres it is possible to get a PB, though start and finish uphill (more like upslope) was not ideal!
