In short: Good race, new PB!
In full: Pretty dull route, undulating a bit, but really liked the fact all the hills were at the beginning and the downhills at the end. Smooth organisation.

In short: Lovely scenery but a bit of a mess at start and end
In full: Always worth doing this race as it's such a great time of the year and the course is lovely. However, please can we have a few more toilets and the start was a bit ocnfused - not sure where the 10k start was - or when we started!

In short: Excellent race, brilliant support, just runied by the parking
In full: Always an good race with loads of support and nice and flat for good times. Hard last two miles with headwind but good views instead! Just ruined by the awful parking as usual. Parked on the common and took 2 hours to get out. Parking stewards were worse than useless and the route they funnelled us through was ridiculous - why were we being directed down a one lane road to a T-junction??? Won't be doing it again, which is a pity, for this reason.

In short: Flat race, good for beginners
In full: Flat race, with good scenery. I hope some of the entry fee went to the charity - it was very expensive for a 10k and the medal was rubbish with no goody bag. Good for beginners but I wouldn't do it again at that price.

In short: Lovely race in the New Forest.
In full: Well organised, just what is needed for a Sunday race, lovely scenery. Horse brass always nice, but always like a goody bag!!

In short: Good race, but what was with the gravel??
In full: Lovely weather, lots of nice people to chat to, not too clubby. Got a good time, despite all those hills! Only mildly spoilt by the end by a gravel pit to sprint through and a very congested exit.

In short: Fab weather, really enjoyable.
In full: Brilliant weather, shakes out all the post Christmas slump! Organisation for the 10k was spot on (could have done with some more toilets though!) although I think the 5k was a bit confused? Good atmosphere, really enjoyable.

In short: Excellent organisation, lots of club runners!
In full: Really well organised, very enthusiastic marshalls cheering us on, always welcomed. Scenery did little to distract at places (especially the industrial estate!!) and there were far too many club runners taking themselves too seriously. At least try to have fun guys! A very fast race, so not for the slow plodders unless you don't mind coming last....!
