In short: Good fun, well organised, lovely weather, brilliant marshals
In full: Can't fault this race. Thanks Leatherhead Fire Station, and also thanks to Terry for sorting out my number which mysteriously got lost in the post (and it only had to go two miles from the Firestation to my home!!)

In short: Only one word to sum this up - great!
In full: Two small things would it be possible to chip the start - it took me a minute to get over the start line? And was mile 8-9 a bit longer than the rest?

In short: Didn't enjoy this race at all which may be coloruing my view of the overall organisation
In full: Disappointed that I didn't finish (not the race organisers problem I know). Unfortunately did the Burnham Beeches half marthon a few weeks ago (and did finish), and Woodstock suffers in comparison regarding atmosphere and facilities. Also it isn't traffic free - lots of people whizzing about as if they owned the place (they probably did!) Very fast - I watched the finish - which many people missed and had to be redirected!

In short: Rain stopped just in time,peaceful, scenic course with lots of undulations.
In full: Really enjoyed this race. Excellent organisation, nice route and good facilities. Although at the slower end of the race I was chuffed with my time!

In short: Well organised and wet.
In full: Second year of running this race, and I am pleased to say the hills seemed much less steep this year, either the organisers have flattened them or I have improved a bit. Some very erratic km markers, but otherwise a great well organised race.

In short: Great flat course, well organised, PB potential
In full: Slightly intimidated by the club runners, but this resulted in a fast race which encouraged the competitive spirit. Many thanks to the woman on the bicyle who encouraged me to sprint at the end - could you follow me around the whole course next time then I might achieve the sub 50 min time that I am aiming for this year. Even at 45 I know I can do it! (Although I may have to give up drinking champagne the night before a race!)

In short: Great fun, beat six bananas (apparently) but I don't remember seeing any of them!
In full: Really enjoyed this flat fast course, like many others I smashed my PB for 10k. Noticed that some people had Banana Man vests rather than t-shirts - I was jealous! Water at the end would have been nice.

In short: Great, fast, flat (ish) race.
In full: Great confidence restoring race after last week's Dorking 'Fun' Run, which was no fun at all. Please do it again next year.

In short: I don't think I would use 'Fun' to describe this run
In full: Killer first kilometre, and I quite often run over Bocketts Farm and Denbies. Returning from injury so no chance I was going to go up that hill twice (or come down!) Start could be more organised but otherwise excellent organisation.
