I did this last year, and apart from being hot as hell and needing a cable car for that hill around mile 8, it was a lovely run, with a fair bit of shade through the woodland bits as well.
Anyone else planning on doing this? It's the week after Milton Keynes, so I have several excuses for my lousy time lined up and ready to go

Hashette,
You will be pleased to know that the mile 8 hill does not feature this year . Traditionally it is always baking hot for the Harlow 10 however...
i'm planning on doing it but will be slower than a very slow thing but have done a 10 mile training plod and managed 1.55 so should make the cut off time... barring mishaps
Im doing it, this will be my first 10!
VicnVin - woohoo, thanks
*waves madly at Loon*
*waves madly back at Hash*
I;ve been out running with harlow running club
eeeeeeeeeeek they is speedy :<
*boing*
Bit quiet in here considering it's next week!
i ran the second half with the club last week
eeeeeeeeeek is all I can say
I'd love to Loon, but I'm horribly allergic to horses so I wouldn't be able to stroke him, much as I'd love to. I used to want to be a vet as a kid, so probably just as well I didn't get the A levels. When I was a teenager, I went riding with a friend who had a horse, and was okay until we stopped riding and went inside, at which point I kind of keeled over. Her Mum was terrified, I had no idea what was happening and it was all very dramatic!
G'Loon - you didn't turn up on one of our Handicap race nights the first time you came down?
Brian, there are a couple of slight climbs - noting too much. A profile can be found here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2051286
vicnvin, a couple of weeks ago, on a tuesday night, yes I did indeed. I was the really slow one.. It was my second night at the club, nothing like in the deep end is there
You came back though...
yep, despite the clubs best efforts to kill me off I go with the ladies on monday now and tag along on the thursday run. I will chuck in a tuesday run to make sure I suffer everynow and then but I need to get my pace up
just entered all my training runs off the garmin onto Fetch and got very depressed that my times in 2005 were massively faster :< guess that's what happens when you train a grand total of about 30 miles total over 2 and a half years LOL
I have been really impressed by how friendly the club members have been, I was really nervous about coming along
A quick note to ask all runners coming by car on Sunday to share wherever possible as space will be limited and this year our usual overflow car park is not available. We hope to put an alternative in place, but this is dependant on the weather, which I understand is warming up more for the weekend!
I'll be there Sunday.
Running in my Tring shirt with 'mitten' on the front. Come & say hi if you see me.
Good luck all, Mitts
I hadn't looked at the details for ages, thanks for that VicnVin or I'd have turned up wondering why so many cars but no queue for the loo!
hash i fyou want to park at mine and either walk up or borrow my old bone rattler of a bike to get there?
about 10 minute cycle, 25 minute walk
reikrabbit - I am sure you are aware of this, but there are two train stations in Harlow - Harlow Town and Harlow Mill.
All trains stop at Harlow Town, but that is ~2 miles away from race HQ. There are Taxi's/buses etc, but I am not sure of frequency on a Sunday Morning
Fewer Trains stop at Harlow Mill, but this station is ~0.5 miles from race HQ and is a reasonably easy walk through Old Harlow to the HQ.
Just thought I'd mention this so you can plan your journey.
