My husband did it in the autumn and found it hillier than he expected it to be. But he achieved a good time (1 hour 25 for his first ever 10 miler - since then he's got down to 1 hour 20) and the first three miles are pancake flat on the aerodrome. I think they are the kind of hills you can run up and there are lots of downhill bits.
It's a good race. not much in the way of support but great medal and jellybabies en route.
I am hill phobic and don't remember it being too bad. I did the 20 2 years ago and I think my spilts were fairly consistent. Don't let the hills put you off. It's a good race.
Any ideas for getting to this by public transport? The race info says the nearest station is Witley, at 3 miles away, but it's actually over 7. I was going to get a bus from Guildford but they don't run on Sundays. I'm not keen to pay for a taxi, but a 7 mile walk each way might be pushing it a bit!

Hi, I am a hill phobic as well but ran the 10-mile race last year without any problems.
My time was quite good (1h10'17'') and I ended the race without any painful feeling .
I have just signed up for the next one as I was extremely happy with last year's edition.

Well, that's why we have to train (on hills as well)!!!!!
