In short: Another good year for Tenbury
In full: With pleasant scenery, and a viscious halfway hill, this is a lovely run. Water stations every 2kms was an amazing feature, which other race organisers can take note of

In short: A hot day, but fun & friendly!
In full: Unbearably hot, but enjoyed the course (just felt like it went on and on a bit!), and not too undulating.
Good marshalling, ample parking, good facilities, and a Lucozade sponsored goodie bag are enough to keep most of us happy!

In short: Another good year at Pitchcroft...
In full: Despite being a tad windy on the straight opposite the Grandstand, it was a good race day.
Well organised as usual (although there was apparently a shortage of medals - can't see why they based their ordering on last years low entry, which was due to flood delays, and another 10k in Worcester the same day!!).
It's hardly the most exciting course, but saying that, being in a 3 time loop, it never feels like you're running 10k, and it's surprisingly quick!
Many thanks, and see you again next year. Oh, and thanks for actually changing the medals this year - they look much snazzier ;-)

In short: Great event, you wouldn't know it was the first one!
In full: Very well organised run, with plenty of support, cheery marshalls, and a water station with bottles, not cups (always a bonus)!
Quick course, predominantly flat, and very scenic, with half alongside the river.
Thanks for the mug, and see you next year!

In short: Pleasant, undulating country course, well organised and enjoyable
In full: My first time here, but I'd definately be back.
It's not a course for a PB, although the hills aren't as bad as some do make out, but it's a nice route, with the roads closed off for the event.
Ample free parking, good directions, clear km markers, and cheerful marshalls made this a very good event for all.
Was also nice that the race coincided with the funfair :-)

In short: Another good Malvern Half, despite being blown off course!
In full: Was my third time here, and found it as enjoyable as ever. The rain was replaced by wind this year, blowing you off into the common at the 11/12 mile stage, and the last 1/4 mile into the headwind for the home straight was just evil!
Many thanks to the great marshalls once again thought ;-)

In short: Very well organised and marshalled, just a shame about the low turnout!
In full: Was my first time here, and I really enjoyed the run.
Was a tad apprehensive before the start, due to the lack of runners (sub 40), and the quick times that were anticipated, but I wasn't last (phew)!!
Top-drawer marshalling throughout to stop traffic, and a pleasant T-shirt at the finish. Many thanks, I'll return next year!

In short: Hot & Hilly, but an excellent race, superbly organised and supported
In full: My first time here, but I'm ready to sign up for 2009 already. This was a fantastically supported race, with local residents providing much needed Jelly Babies & Hose Pipe relief!
Was personally dissappointed to just miss out on my usual sub 1:45 time, but the late hills put paid to the silver medal ambitions. Never fear, for I'll be back for it next year!!!
Many thanks to all supporters & organisers for creating a great 'arf.

In short: Well organised, fun day out
In full: First time here, but enjoyed. Route was mix of roads and footpaths, with some road crossings a nuisance with stops to allow cars by! Plenty of water stations and support enroute to keep you going...
