Englefield Run 10K

The venue is really scenic and offers a challenging course through the country estate, tackling some hills and a bit of rough terrain. A majority of the course is run on grass, with some parts being on tarmac roads. The organisation was really well thought out and all of the event staff/marshals were fantastic, helpful and enthusiastic. The only problem was the heat. The ran began at 11:00 and it was a scorching hot day. The course offered little-to-no shade and even the most elite runners found it tough. It wasn't the organiser's fault, as they can't control the weather (the previous year had been a wash out so it seems they can't get a break weather-wise). Some other runners complained that maybe the race should have started earlier, but I had arrived at 9am and it was already really hot. The organiser's laid on extra water stations, so were trying their best to combat the heat.
Overall, the event is great but the weather has a big impact on a runner's overall experience.
