Excellent organisation and volunteers in sub zero. Love this race nice and early training session. Neil P
I always enjoy these Oundle events. Consistently good events. Nothing over the top, but everything you need. Thanks again. Paul T
The fifth time that I have participated in this event. Today was the worst weather, but that didn't stop the very helpful and cheerful marshalls . Overall I have a very positive feel for the event, and it is always a lovely medal. Julia M
Enjoyed my first outing at the Oundle 10k race, albeit it in very slushy conditions. Thanks to all the marshals and supporting staff. Mark T
