In short: A nice way to celebrate my 10th anniversary 10k
In full: Another enjoyable Eynsham 10k. Shame about the cold showers in the school but a minor point for me. Well organised again with welcoming refreshments and friendly marshalls. Thanks Eynsham Roadrunners.

In short: A very friendly well organised race
In full: This was the 7th time I'd run this one and it's one of my favourites. A challenging course with some short sharp hills but plenty of down as well. Friendly marshalls with a nice technical t-shirt and some welcoming refreshments provided by the PTA. Shame there weren't a few more entrants. Thanks Witney Roadrunners. Will be back next year.

In short: A very friendly well organised race
In full: Entered this as was staying in the area for the weekend. First 5km up and second 5km down. Free tea/coffee and Welsh cakes at the end were very welcoming with a nice finish beside the sea. Shame there weren't a few more entrants to help the charity. Thanks to the organisers and friendly marshalls for making a friendly and welcoming finish to my weekend in Wales.

In short: A great well organised race
In full: This was the 4th time I'd run this but 7 years since the last time. Was very impressed with the organisation and thouight that the tannoy system at the start was great. So often it's difficult tohear things at the start, further down the field. Marshals and locals were friendly and supportive and there were plenty of water stations. Well done to Stratford Rotary and their supporters.

In short: Another well organised event
In full: Agree with previous comment. The marshals are the stars on a day like today. Have done this a number of times and always enjoy it.

Well done to everyone involved.

In short: A good multi-terrain event with nice touches
In full: I wsn't sure what to expect with this but really enjoyed it. It's primarily a walk that allows runners and there are 3 distances to choose from (27, 17 & 11.5). Each person is given a card which is stamped at checkpoints and a written description of the course. There are no marshalls but the course is well signposted. There are various refreshments at the checkpoints and free drinks, soup and puddings at the finish. Many thanks to the organisers for hosting a very friendly ecvent.

In short: Well organised as always
In full: My 6th running of this race and one of my favourites of the year. It is hilly but that makes it more interesting. It was very well organised as always with friendly marshalls. Thanks again WRR. Looking forward to the race's silver anniversary next year.

In short: An excellent race with superb memento
In full: This was the 2nd time I'd run this race. I live in Oxfordshire so tied it in with a choir rehearsal in Morriston.
The organisation was superb with encouraging marshalls and an even more encouraging race commentator. This race has a lovely atmosphere and runs through gorgeous scenery. As for the memento. Wow. One of the best I've seen. Something that isn't advertised, and is really useful for those of us who live outside the area, is that runners can use the showers at the local leisure centre free of charge.

In short: A nice mid-week race
In full: I last ran this 5 years ago and appreciated the improvements. The change in route has been managed well and there were plenty of friendly marshalls and people manning the water stations. The marked starting 'pens' were great idea. Plenty of parking as well. I hope to do this again next year.
