In short: Superb scenery with nightmare hills
In full: Beats a city centre half-marathon anyday. The scenery in the first nine miles, and especially around mile 5 is calendar material. A very tough run (especially with that wind!) but ultimately rewarding, with a nice finish in the pavillion gardens. Get some hill training in and do this race next year - you'll not regret it!

In short: Enjoyable
In full: I thought that was as flat a course as you're going to get, definite PB potential.

In short: Enjoyable Trail Run
In full: The course measures just over the 6 so is very nearly a 10K. The PB rating is for a Trail run - it would be a testing 10k as there is a lovely hill at the halfway point and some off-road stuff.
Very enjoyable scenery around Rother Valley Country Park/Nature reserve - and in my opinion it's a better route around the park than the RV 10K race.

In short: Nice little workout
In full: Friendly race - marshalling was excellent and suprised at the amount of support for a cold morning, the course itself is mostly flat (i'm still scarred from Bestwood!).
Very muddy through the park but that's half the fun surely!

In short: Difficult 10K but enjoyable all the same - it would be boring without hills though wouldn't it??
