Barking is the fastest course around. Totally flat 2 and bit laps.

I wouldn't mind doing the wanstead flats one were there many runners? I normally do either the Ipswich or Colchester one.

I'd say mile end is a challenge, certainly more than the other two. 2 laps, 2 gradual hills, 1 steep. So on a lap you'd do 6 and 12 in total. Just go give it a go, might be fine for you.

I've been ordered to tell you that Harrow Lodge Park, Hornchurch is the best one.

Do the Birkenhead one occasionally; 9am saturday is normally not a great time for me as I've got two young kids and it's family time (normally run early doors). Good atmosphere though. normally 200-250 there. Takes me longer to get there than it does to run, but once the kids are old enough to take part it will probably become part of the family routine.

The runs with the most runners are not necessarily the best. Surely it's all about the organisation, the socialbility of the other runners and the course itself.
