In short: Tough race but spectacular views!
In full: I totally enjoyed my day out! The course was tough but I was expecting that. If you are after a PB this is not the race for you. If you are after a friendly atmosphere, stunning scenery and a well organised event and you don't mind the odd hill give this a go! The marshalls did a great job. For me there were enough water stations and an nice technical t-shirt at the end. Easy to get to from London as well - 10 minute walk from Dorking station to the start.

In short: A brilliantly run event. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you to all the supporters!
In full: I can't really fault this event. Everything went so smoothly. The support of the locals was amazing and you just have to love the stadium finish.

The organisation was superb. I will definitely be back next year.

Thank you to all the supporters on the course and it was good to see the unofficial jelly baby stop back this year ;)

In short: Nothing you can do about the weather, lots you can do to make it a better race for runners.
In full: Alot has all ready been said. I missed the crush at the end, thankfully, but the crush through the Lanes at the start was extremely frustrating. If you are going to send a race through narrow streets I suggest it happen towards the end once everyone has spread out. I was quite concerned about getting knocked over. I might have missed it but I didn't even get a drink at the end of the race.
