It’s course is considered by some to be undulating; “You`re either going up or going down”, is how one runner had described it, however they added that it’s also an “Attractive route - mainly rural (on roads) or semi-rural. Good friendly atmosphere, cheery marshals and the pick of St Alban's pubs for a post-race pick me up pint.”
Stub-tacular! was how one competitor described the 2009 Stubbington Green 10K.
