Hertford Charity 10k 19 April 2009 John Howe reports: The course is predominately off road on good tracks. There is a 10 minute walk, en masse, to the start, and this is the only downside bit of the course. The path is quite narrow and passes through 2 gates which cause quite severe congestion for those starting further back, then there is little space to pass anyone for the first 2k. I lied about downside. There is a real killer of a hill up to the finish. Shades of the Tilty Hilly 5, for those familiar with that. I was delighted with my time, but then a bit deflated when I saw the Garmin distance was 9.7k.
