In short: Brilliant
In full: Loved it! The atmosphere was really good. The Director asked us not to use MP3s etc. but to cheer each other on. It worked - it was so friendly. Also really nice to have slower runners go off first, so the faster ones were constantly overtaking us: again, really sociable. Of course the fancy dress helped - it meant the public cheered us on too.
Terrain: REALLY tough. You run up (and down!) Box Hill three times. But it's fine - part of the challenge. Oh - and really good post-race atmosphere too: soup, cake, oranges, carrots, Mars bars, raffle with lots of prizes, and prizes for best fancy dress (which deservedly went to Borat)! Great race - highly recommended but no good for 10 k PBs!

2007 Leatherhead Fire Station 10k Race

In short: This must be the best 10k ever.
In full: I love this race: the hills in the first 4 k and the wonderful downhill from 4 to 7 k, then flat. Beautiful countryside too. Especially poignant today as the firemen were collecting for their colleagues killed in the Warwickshire fire.

In short: Lovely race; pity about the last-minute (?) changes to the route
In full: This is a really nice race: really lovely marshals and far more interesting than you would think from the description (3 laps, urban). But my pleasure today was slightly marred by the change in the route. The mile markers had been set out under the assumption that the race would begin with one lap of the athletics track. In the event it began with two laps, so the mile markers were about 400 yards out. No big deal really; but the real disappointment was at the end: rather than the lap of the track that we'd expected, the finish appeared just after a blind turn back into Wimbledon Park, so no chance of a sprint finish as you just couldn't see it. Another consequence of this last-minute change was that drinks, fruit and race memento (a cute baseball cap with 'W10' embroidered on it) were in the stadium, a long way from the finish (though there was water at the finish). The finish arrangements were not satisfactory, and I do hope the organisers will re-consider for next year. Having said all of which, I very much enjoyed the race and will do it again: atmosphere, marshals, route (including hills), fruit at the finish and hot showers were very welcome.

In short: Loved it - so much nicer than running on roads. And the jelly babies at the half-way drinks were a lovely touch!
