In short: A feel-good event
In full: Arrived early for EOD - bit shocked at £1 parking but was a winner for the charity. Lovely family atmosphere. Loos were for the brave (yikes) - but I made 3x visits! What a hill on during that 1st K, but what a joy at 9k+. Managed a respectable 63mins (I think). Great free post run stretch. Thank you. GMx

In short: Enjoyable local event
In full: Start was a bit abrupt - great social atmosphere pre + post race. Organisation was v.smooth and appreciated. Well done on the sunshine - not expected that (rain expected). Like the boot bag - thank you.

In short: Steep
In full: Fabulously well organised event - car park found easily and signs to start v.good. Walk back to car (up hill) was tough after doing all uphill mountainous climbs during the race. The challenge of the 1st hill paid off in the cool of the woods - but PB potential was shot to bits from hill at start - didn't seem to recover after than and walked all of the inclines thereafter. Brilliant long downhill finish. Very well organised. Lovely atmosphere. Will be back next year - thank you.
PS: Entry price a bit steep - would put people off when searching around.

In short: So great to be back amongst fellow runners.
In full: Brilliant event as ever. Gr8 to see to many familiar and welcoming faces. It's been too long (again) since I returned to Bushy Park - there's nowhere quite like it (and I now live in the Chilterns) so am spoilt for glorious locations to run in.
Loving the day-glo like green t-shirt. Almost back on form (pre-baby) - hope to crack a PB at this event next year in my new age category too.
Well done all organisers, as ever, brilliant.

In short: Good range of runners - not too quick for the slower ones (like me).
In full: Liked the 'don't know what you're gonna get' goodie bag - seems they were all different in one way or another. Liked the T-shirt too.

In short: Tough cos of early non-existent scenery
In full: Shame about 15min delay to start - but respected and understood. Good to be able to see front runners on loop - bit too many loops on ring road though. Preferred previous years start and finish - but needs must.
Marshalls were extraordinarily cheery and most upbeat.
