Thanks to each and every one of you - much appreciated. Date of review: March 27, 2011

In short: My favourite run of the year. In full: Absolutely superb. Fantastic value and organisation. Refreshments have to be seen to be believed. No worthless goody bag at the end; just a certificate and as much apple crumble as you can eat. Cannot recommend this run highly enough. Huge thanks to Chris Thompson and the people of Seagrave.

In short: Superb In full: Very tough in places, but no complaints; the clue is in the name.
Fantastic marshals - friendly and supportive.
Small crowds out and about, but very vocal and supportive. Loved the gang of girls at Windrush.
Somehow managed a PB! The training must be working.
Will be back next year. Well done Bourton Road Runners. Date of review: June 27, 2009

In short: Very good, great way to spend a Sunday morning. In full: This is a very enjoyable race. The course is pretty and fairly flat. Four drinks stations were appreciated on this scorching day.
A megaphone is needed to give out instructions at the start - I haven't a clue what was being shouted out before we started.
Hope the lady who collapsed 200m from the end was OK.
See you next year. Date of review: June 14, 2009

2009 21st Knowle Fun Run 5
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: A fun morning In full: Something for everyone, a real family occasion. Maybe not best suited to your real hard-nosed, super-serious PB-hunter, but a good race for us mere mortals. Organisation was excellent. Normally I would agree that £12 is a bit steep just for a certificate, but given that the aim was to raise money for charity (as opposed to spending it on medals etc.) I don't think people can have any complaints. I'll be back next year. Date of review: May 11, 2009
