2008 adidas Breakfast Run 16
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Good, but 2 major issues - loos (lack of) and no chip for race this size
In full: Organisation good but for these 2 major issues. Although emails before mentioned getting there early, lack of sufficient loos is difficult to justify for the large entry fee. Similarly, for a race of 4000 runners, chip timing should be used.

2007 Tadworth 10
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Excellent race to start the new year
In full: Very popular race and deserves to be due to excellent organisation. Plenty of friendly marshalls, great HQ venue, baggage bus and challenging (muddy) conditions but not unexpected due to being described as Multiterrain. Found trail shoes very useful.
Bring on the Perch!
