In short: Quite challenging but fun.
In full: This is oneof my regular annual runs having participated three times now. it was quite wet under foot this time and the course is bit a challenge in places, but it's an enjoyable run and always worth it for the great slab of a medal!!!

In short: Seemed a little lacking in christmas spirit
In full: The run was good and I love the fun of everyone running as Santa ... but why was there no Christmas music playing at the start? I liked the carol singers at the end, it was just a shame that you couldn't hear them. Some nice, jolly christmas tunes and maybe a mince pie at the end would have made this really seem like a Santa run!

In short: Suoerb ... once again!
In full: This race is consistently well-organised, year after year! Easy to get to the park ... great route ... yummy bagels afterwards ... and a fantastic samba band! Well done! See you in 2013.

In short: Dodging others spoiled this race
In full: I have nothing to say that hasn't been said before ... but I love having the opportunity to run on the streets in central London so I'd definitely do this race again!

In short: Not amazing but good enough.
In full: This was just an average run really - not much actual running in the park which as a shame, but the course was fine and didn't feel too repetative. Organisation wasn't the best. I did a run orgaised by this company over a year ago and I remember commenting on the poor man giving out tshirts needing a table so he could organise them and not have a queue of tired runners a mile long waiting while he shiffled through boxes ... well, still no table and still lots of shuffling through boxes! However, I was able to park near to the park so that was a bonus!

In short: Lovely countryside run
In full: Lots of positives about this race. A fantastic, scenic course, but that hill at the 7k mark is surprisingly hard! I wasn't prepared for it as I thought I was on the "downhill section" ... but next year I'll know it's coming!

In short: Fun run ... Good cause
In full: This was a fun race and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to run and wants to support a good cause. Organisation was good - it all went like clockwork.

In short: Another fun run!
In full: This was my third outing at a Santa Run, so it's all like second nature. Enjoyable run and a good cause although it's a nightmare trying to find friends in the crowd! I was a bit disappointed that runners only received a medal and a bottle of water. I know times are tight, but a banana or a cereal bar would have been very welcome. Apart from that minor issue - this was great.

In full: This seemed more of a challenge this year than last year for some reason but it was still an enjoyable race! Organisation was great, the marshalls were encouraging and the course was a good mix of terrains! The medal is impressive and stands out in my growing collection. Even the predicted rain stayed away too!
