In short: Great Race, one of my favourites and extraordinarily luck with the weather. Excellent organisation and enjoyed the tea and cakes at the finish after that nasty little hill near the end. t

In short: Great atmosphere, unlike anything else I've ever done before. The potential to turn an ankle and get covered in bog water all rolled into one

In short: A good race for barefooting!
In full: This was my first 10k and also my first official race since going barefoot and this being Brighton no one really batted an eyelid. The only Km marker I saw was number 6 but then I wasn't really paying attention as I was having too much fun splashing through the puddles then avoiding all the stones washed up by the foul weather! Still don't think cups at water stations are a good idea but this was only 10k so I didn't need water anyway. The queue for the Lucozade at the end wasn't great though. Medal was average but for the price and distance it was fine. Would do this again but no next year because its on the same day as HellRunner!

In full: How do they do it? Always lucky with the weather, the organisation gets better each year - even with postal strikes. Tonnes of Marshalls, clear signs, pacers, quality TShirt, hot showers, spectators at key points - even in the middle of nowhere!

In short: Best race ever!!!
In full: Twisted my ankles a few times and took me a week to start running properly again afterwards. Lots of single-track through the woods. Big puddle(?pond?) which wrecked my trainers.

I will definitely be back next year and will make sure I run it in crap trainers.

Cross-country convert.

In short: Fast, flat course. Enjoyable race.
In full: I think this is one of the better races on my usual calender.

I think that the water station at just before the 3K mark (which doubled up as the finish water station) and just before the turn at 6.5K were sufficient for most - I usually don't drink during a 10K.

I managed to take all my own KM split times so I was able to see the marker boards for most - the 3k one was as we passed the start finish and I did not see a marker there but it was easy to work out from the info supplied with the race numbers. I previous years I did not see as many markers.

The "Sea Breeze" usually evens itself out as you are running against and with it for the same distance - although I think that it is easier to have it in your back for the run to the finish like this year.

With the course being so flat it makes this race for those that care about such things a definite one to go for a PB.
