Superb 10k race organised by Race Nation. Excellent course, great pre and post race facilities, and a gorgeous medal.

Mark B Had a lovely evening at the Wessex 10K, I've done 7 of these races now and they have all been very well organised. From parking up to driving away all of the marshalls were very helpful in their directions, there was more than enough marshalls and signage so there was no way we would get lost. It was a good course with a goot mix of road running and trail running, the medal looked to be of high quality and the free drinks at the end were very welcome on a warm summer evening. Looking forward to the next one :)

The course was well mapped and easy to follow with staff dotted along the track for support if needed. The entry was efficient and I managed to register in less than 2 minutes

3rd time of attending this event, it is always well organised, has great support, lovely medal, and a scenic course. Even with the uneven droves section I still managed to achieve an overall 10k PB!

I would say the route itself wasn’t as accurately described as it could’ve been, and more toilets would’ve been fab to avoid queues. other than that 10/10

This was my first 10k and was really apprehensive but thoroughly enjoyed it. The pre information was good and parking was easy. Course was well labelled and marshals were well spaced out and very supportive. Queue was fairly long for toilets before run, cars leaving at the end of...

Well organised event but wasn't a fan of the 'droves' section as it felt dangerous and was afraid of injury
