In short: Beautiful scenery, lovely weather
In full: Defintely worth travelling from london to participate. My pace would have made it a PB, but my GPS measured it as 13.36 miles - I think the distance between miles 10 and 11 was long. A really good race, although the rail journey home was marred by delays caused by vandalism. I would certainly do it again, but I think it could be rather difficult if the weather was poor.

In short: I normally avoid mud, but enjoyed this race despite the weather.
In full: Very good organisation, and the marshalls were fantastic. Standing on a wet common, in the wind and rain, is not enjoyable. I got rather cold in the queue at the end, but the mug and t-shirt are nice. I will certainly be back, and hope for a drier autumn.

In short: Good course, lovely weather, a PB, so very happy
In full: I really enjoyed this race, good course. I love the barrage, although could be difficult if the weather was bad. It was better not finishing in the stadium. The baggage pick-up should be better. i would have got very cold if it was wet or windy.

In short: Nice not to be soaked this year
In full: I like this race. It isn't a problem going out of the park, as the roads are mostly quiet, apart from the South Circular. Even the roadworks weren't a huge problem, as we were guided into the road by the excellent marshals, who sttod in the middle of the road, and warned the traffic to be careful.
It might be a good idea for the recumbent bikes to be advised to stay on the other side of the park, as they can be a bit unpredictable.

In short: Good course, looping round the park
In full: Smaller than some of the other CancerResearch 10k races, but I enjoyed it. The course wound round the park, including the dinosaurs. Some short but steep hills. Nice to start and finish in the stadium. Even better, I can walk to it.

In short: Very good, friendly, good start time
In full: I liked this race very much - good start time, lovely morning. Friendly, good organisation, and totally flat. I enjoyed the banana, snack bar and drink at the end. There seemed all levels of runneres, with good encouragement for the slower runners.

In short: I like this race - friendly, local, mix of abilities
In full: There were several races locally this weekend - as well as Peckham, there was a charity 10k in Dulwich park, and Race for life tomorrow in Crystal palace park, but I'm glad I chose this one. It's a nice size, and friendly. I had neglected to charge my Garmin, so would have appreciated a few more Km markers, but, as it's laps, you have a reasonable idea of how far you've done.

In full: i got a PB, despite feeling I hadn't done enough training. Plenty of water stations and marshalls. Shame the goody bags ran out

In short: weather terrible, race great, love the t-shirt
In full: I got quite cold waiting for the start, but soon warmed up, and was able to shed my plastic bag. I really enjoyed the run, and the organisation was excellent. The marshalls and supporters were great; I'm sure it was worse standing in the rain, than running. I got cold again at the finish, and was very grateful for the space blanket. I love the t-shirt, especially as it fits - great to have a choice of size, usually the t-shirts swamp me. I certainly hope to do this run again.
