In short: Well organised and good value race.
In full: Small, about 200 or so taking part. Very well organised and good value race. No road closures but very good marshalling and not a lot of traffic down the lanes, so no problems. No steep hills but a lot of steady climbs/descents so not a quick course.

In short: Well organised race around the undulating lanes of Pewsey
In full: A bit warm on the evening, but still an enjoyable race around the country lanes. Hilly/undulating depends who you speak to, but nothing too steep or long. Parking and entry all well organised and a nice bottle of beer/mug as memento. Only gripe is it took a week for results to appear on website.

In short: Good well organised race
In full: Good race with a excellent turnout, always sells out. Surface a little unstable in places but route may change next year. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a midweek race over quick course.

In short: Low key event
In full: Only 500 max taking part so always going to be a little quiet on the way round. Found the course OK but the hills seemed bigger and hurt on the third lap. Organisation OK, agree with comments regarding pre race info, but I got all the required info from forum/website. I am sure the lap markers were accurate but found the last .2 very long. Certainly do it again if it fits in with training, other races.

In short: Well organised race
In full: A little bit chilly, to be expected this time of year. Start a little bit busy but go away OK. Nice flat 2 lap course. Only gripe was finishing straight which went from road onto grass verge for the last 30 metres or so - not great for sprint finish. Apart from that a well organised and enjoyable event.

In short: Well organised race, can't fault it.
In full: If you are planning an Autumn Marathon next year do Abingdon. Flat course and perfect organisation, lots of marshalls, get in quick cause it fills up early

In short: Good race but would n't call it flat
In full: 5 mile race organised by the local school in conjunction with their fete. Start a big busy, as a few parked cars on the road making it hard to get away from start. Lots of marshalls giving directions and even though not traffic free no concerns. Very warm and a couple of hills contradict the flat description. Only £6 to enter so good value.

In short: Very good race, but found it tough.
In full: Like most I struggled to hit target and found 2nd lap hard work. Organisation very good, but would prefer water in bottles as can't run at pace and drink from cups. Only run twice but would love to run it in cooler conditions and a separate Marathon medal would be better. All in all though a well organised race that I would recommend to all
