I've done this race a couple of times now and it's been a great experience both times. It's an excellent course, with a good mix of scenery - running through woodland, alongside the Thames, through Kingston and past Hampton Court. It is a well-organised and marshalled event - one of my favourite races of the year.

My first race at over 10k and what a great one to start with. A really good atmosphere throughout, great marshalling and a simple to follow course which isn’t too testy in terms of terrain at all. Really recommended for a new distance attempt or to improve on a PB. 

On a slightly negative note, I was disappointed that so many people were wearing earphones, despite the ban; during the race, two of them cut across my path, seemingly distracted.  Many people are shown in the photos as wearing earphones, and I wouldn't hesitate in DQing them.  On a more positive note, the course extremely well marshaled at the danger points.  I recommend having clearer signage and/or marshaling at the final road crossing onto the green - I was momentarily directed the wrong way. The course is flat and therefore demanding of pacing ability, so next time I would have another day of rest before this race!  There was a lovely atmosphere at the finish, despite the announcer mocking the vegan runner who crossed the finish line, by making an announcement about bacon.  Overall, I enjoyed the course, especially running around some paths and roads that are familiar from growing up in Weston Green.

This is a very nice race 10 miles is a good distance the course is flat and nice to run by the Thames and on the tow path. There are good Marshall’s all around the course and there is a good vibe to the race it is well organised and you can get a beer at the end in the clubhouse a good race will be back next year

Great race on pretty woodland trails & village atmosphere feel at the end. Intimate, small race with easy registration, bag drop & superb toilets! Would definitely recommend this race to those wanting a quick, no fuss, mix of easy trail/road race. The organiser has got this one right!

The race was generally friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. Everyone I spoke to was helpful. The route was nice, I liked both where it went through Kingston Town centre as well as along the Thames. I like the heritage which adds to the character. The photos were great, and lots of them, but last year the photographers were a bit more clever and had a lovely Thames view in background, this year there was a road with random signage... Another minor fault was there were two separate signs saying 1.5 miles to go, but they were about 500 metres apart! Clearly one wasn't right and it's important that runners know how much is left to run. Minor flaws though, all in all a special race.
