In short: Well organized, friendly race with enthusiastic marshalls. A quick course - flat with hardly any undulation although 2-3k on towpath was quite uneven. Will be back again next year.

In short: Well organised, with clear markings. This was a low key event - with few spectators and quite a thinly spread field. Deceptively hilly, with some long climbs at a low gradient

In short: Organisation was hard to fault with friendly marshalls and clear signposting. Quite a broad mix of runners and flat as a pancake - definite PB potential here

In short: Challenging, multi-terrain race with the majority on grass/muddy paths. Very well organised with great encouragement from the marshalls. My Garmin had the race as being slightly short (9.8k)

In short: Unlikely to be PB material unless you are a demon hill runner! But a great challenge with off-road, county and residential roads and a c.1 mile hill on each lap. Excellent organisation and encouragement from the marshalls. Thanks to all involved

In short: Very well organised, no-frills race in Hyde Park. Very flat apart from a couple of small inclines and results were available within a few hours of the finish

In short: Very little to fault in this race - the organisation was excellent, with the bag drop and toilets before the race not leading to big queues. A very fast race, and nice that most of it is in the shade too when the sun came out! Thks to all involved

In short: Well organised race, really enjoyed starting and finishing on the athletics track. Less so the hill around the second km! It was a competitive field, mainly club runners but didn't feel exclusive.

In short: A big improvement over the 2010 race, well marshalled and laid out course. The heat and tough final km made it tough to get a PB. Thanks to all involved

In short: Very scenic and flat as a pancake, the course is on residential roads and 2 loops of part of the Thames Path. Some minor improvements could be made - a bigger drinks station and a bit more notice before the start
