Tadworth 10 is a regular race for me, a great way to kick off the year. When it's so cold outside, it's wonderful to be able to register and warm up in the warm in the grandstand - and amazingly there are never any queues for the loos! I actually liked this year's amended course - 4 laps of the downs with no road sections. A little congestion at the start, but then the route was good, with friendly marshalls to keep us on track. Hilly enough to be challenging, but not so steep to be exhausting. Choice of chocolate bars at the end was another plus. Looking forward to next year!

There are few if any issues with this local event (indeed now local institution). The cohorts of local running groups from Surrey and South London (and further afield) attest to the popularity of this New Year shake out run. The ‘B’ course was used this year due to ice on the tarmac section of the regular “A” route – and aside from a few points of congestion, the all “off road” nature of the 10 miler this year added a real cross country feel to this undulating, track and bridleway course. There was no shortage of marshals; and you really get a sense that Tadworth Athletic Club members must recruit widely from friends and family to ensure there is no lack of high viz jackets throughout the course. So big shout out to everyone who braved the temperatures to stand, guide, and support. The registration / bag drop zone benefits from being in the Duchess's Stand (Epsom Racecourse) – so “Race HQ” is dry, warm, spacious, and very close to the start. The whole organisation has a professional vibe – which adds to the success of the day. My only minor gripe was that the coffee concession only took plastic (and I only had cash); this could, perhaps, have been flagged in the pre-race literature. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this 10 miler (there is a parallel 10k available) to anyone with the inclination (and trail shoes) to kick off 2027 next year.

Excellent organisation as ever by Tadworth Athletic. Always an enjoyable run with fantastic HQ facilities using the Epsom Race stand. Very well marshalled by friendly club members. Difficult for the club this year as the roads were still iced up so they very sensibly changed the course to a run around the race course - twice for the 10km event (so an 8km distance) and four times for the 10 mile traditional event. Highly recommend this race to kick start running for the New Year.

I was going to do the 10k but decided to change to the 10 mile then the weather conditions changed and so did the course 4 laps concerned me but it wasn't as bad as I thought . More worried about the marshals having to wait for me to do my last lap . But everyone was very encouraging . Thank you for a great day
