Route has an amazing start / finish in the grounds of Compton Verney, goes out around lovely picturesque country lanes and villages. It's not flat, has a fairly big hill which you go up and down again on the way out, then the same in reverse on the way back. The middle 8-9 miles or so are gently rolling. Very well organised by a local company called Tempo events who are experienced runners themselves and several of them friends of mine. Any other questions, ask away. Assuming I'm off the bench by then, I'll be there
