My second time, after a six year gap. 

Any easy race for me to get to, one stop on the metropolitan line, easier than driving.  There seemed to be plenty of parking though.  Race packs are sent out a few weeks beforehand, there's no registration process otherwise apart from announcements.  Not too many toilets, but it was really easy to head up to the cricket pavillion which had changing rooms and no wait for toilets.  It starts at 3.00 pm, which could lead to a few changes in what to eat pre-race. 

The course starts with two loops of the school sports field, which allows spectators to see their runners a couple of times.  Despite a lot of rain there was no mud or standing water on the field. 

The route then goes out onto the closed roads of the Moor Park estate, a lot of the residents come out to support the race.  There is one really long hill, which you think ends after passing Moor Park mansion, but then continues to rise.  It's then mainly downhill, with a final flat loop around the sports field back to the finish. 

There are two water stations on the course (which were needed on a cloudy humid day), and a third unofficial one from some residents who had someone running. 

There's a nice friendly atmosphere about this race, which is in aid of one of the local cancer centres.  The start/finish area is a lovely place to linger in good weather, but it was a bit breezy yesterday.

Would recommend this as an inexpensive local race, no PB potential but some nice scenery and views.
