A challenging hilly course that you would expect being a woodland run in the Chiltern Hills. Really fabulous volunteers and the race director Rachel was a super star as were the chaps doing the timings. So well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. I'll be back next year.M
Mathew WDid the 10 Mile in 2019
The race, although small had a great and supportive atmosphere. Much more so than many races I have done across the UK previously.The course itself was stunning and I would definitely participate again in the future.
Did the 5 Mile in 2019
Small crowd, probably due to bad weather the day before and a known challenging route, but it was still a lovely atmosphere and well organised race.H
HermioneDid the 5 Mile in 2019
It was a great local event, very challenging terrain and a step up from Parkrun! I may be back next year...Thanks for organising so well.L
Laura TDid the Canicross 10K in 2019
Absolutely beautiful course, though a little bit challenging (expect hills - up and down). Very dog friendly... Just a shamellS
Steve WDid the 5 Mile in 2019
It was the second time I've run in this event and enjoyed the beautiful if very tough route. Very well organised & a great medal at the end too. Many thanks and look forward to next year.S
Sam PDid the Canicross 10K in 2019
Great, well-organised and friendly event. I didn't realise Canicross meant canines though, so I was the only runner without a dog! I wanted to run a 10K and didn't see anything on the marketing material about it being for dogs. I now know!S

Did the Canicross 10K in 2019
It was not clear where the race registration was as it was down a hill from the cafe with no signs to tell you where to go. The start was not well organised, we set off in waves of 10, but they had not been pre-arranged, so 10 random people were called up to the start line at a time - it was pretty chaotic. The course itself was great, muddy and hilly. It was wide enough for overtaking. Would recommend even if the start was pretty crazy.C
Charles GDid the Canicross 10K in 2019
There were no signs to direct you to the race registration and it wasn't in an obvious place. Organisation at the start was pretty poor, they set us off in waves by just asking any 10 people to step up to the start line at a time - it was quite chaotic. That said, the organisers were very friendly. The course was great, very muddy and some good hills for variability. Course was wide enough for several runners and their dogs side-by-side so that overtaking was not an issue. I'd recommend it even if the start was a bit disorganised!
