Race day was 6th December and despite freezing conditions (but blue skies, perfect for runners!) ALL the Marshalls were cheerful and encouraging.  To go to any event at the moment is a massive boost and this was charming and friendly and I take my hat off to the organisers for the smooth running of everything.  Everyone that was running seemed to be enjoying getting out into our wonderful Chiltern hills and forgetting about Covid for a glorious and therapeutic couple of hours! Loved it! Great medal too!

This was hard work (hills), but the views were lovely.

The event organisation was extremely good (Covid-safe), and the marshall's were excellent.

I recommend this event. I might even do it again this season. (But perhaps that statement is induced by post-race euphoria.). 😜

Did the 10k today and really enjoyed it. My first COVID safe race and it was well organised and I felt very safe. Great course, with the first 4 miles steady uphill and the last 2 mostly downhill. Was slightly shorter than expected. My watch said 6.06 miles so maybe a slight adjustment needed? Mile markers also were not quite right. Having said that, really enjoyed it and will be back in Jan for another go! Thank you! Marshals and volunteers all excellent too!

Henley is hilly so  no surprise there were a few steep climbs to contend with but nothing onerous and some lovely stretch out downward return legs to compensate.

I really enjoyed this run. It's quiet and very scenic and for a blustery day running through the forest kept much of the dreaded wind from hitting head on. 
 

recommend this run for anyone who likes quiet off road but not too 'off road' to make it technical.
