2012 Buckingham Fun Run 10K
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Another cracking Buckingham 10k!
In full: A local but firm favourite, great organisation, friendly marshals and brillient route. Some tough climbs, especially between 6 - 7km but the final 1km back to the finish is quick.
Well worth it for the view of Stowe house & gardens alone!

In short: Faultless as usual!
In full: Yet another brilliantly organised, great value run around some nice undulating countryside. Good country fete at the finish, plus a sunny day made for a good race. The wind was a little testing, but that's my only complaint! Will definitely be back next year.
Despite the hills, this always seems to be quite a quick course..?

2010 Nike Milton Keynes Half Marathon

In full: For a first time big race the organisation was pretty good, there are always going to be some issues but I'm sure next year will be fine. It's a good course and about as flat as they come. Think there are some unfair comments on here. If you've got a problem with too many people getting in the way then don't enter an event with 5,000 entries! Enthusiastic marshalls too, which always makes a difference.

In short: An all time favourite!
In full: Definitely one of my all time favourite races. Very well organised with regular updates following the bad weather. Plenty of cheering marshalls. A great first race of 2010 - glad to be back on the road and away from the awful treadmill! Well done Stratford AC.

In short: Brilliant race, great organisation - a firm favourite!
In full: Well organised, great marshalls, friendly atmosphere and one of the flatest races this side of East Anglia combine to make this one of my favourite events of the year. Broke my PB which is a great result for the end of the year. Good t-shirt, which I'm wearing now, as it happens!

2009 Herbert's Hole Challenge

In short: Loved it!
In full: Given the last few days of torrential rain this course was very tricky in places, with thick mud, puddles and slippery surfaces - but a sunny day helped. The near vertical hill at 2km was a killer, but it was good to try something other than road running for a change and not to be worrying too much about times etc. I'll definitely be back for more next year..
