In short: Fantastic, well organised race. Top marshalling from the lead motorcyclist through to the people handing out the T-shirts. Excellent.

In short: The best 10k I have had the pleasure of!
In full: It was a glorious autumnal morning, centre of London, in Hyde Park, running in a race with a good mix of runners, what more can I say? Brilliant. Will definitely run it again. I have run a few marathons, a few halfs, and a few 10K races and this was the perfect size. The bag storage was really convenient (to the runner that complained earlier, you should try the New York Marathon - that was over half a mile away!). You normally get loads of spam and sugarfree gubbins in goody bags so I was pleasantly surprised to find just the nuts and bolts for post race re-fuelling and none of the promospam one normally has to bin! Well done After Adoption somebody there knows about runners!!

In short: probably my favourite race
In full: This race just has the 'x' factor. Well worth the long trek down from Bristol. Once again, great organisation, superb value for money and a good day out. Can't wait for next year.

In short: Good flat race by the sea
In full: The course has recently changed and is much better, this year the start and finish had greatly improved. Good organisation and facilities. Despite the short rainstorm this was a great race and it was lovely to run the last couple of miles along the seafront with a Samba band playing. I hope the band comes back next year. The only negative about the race this year is that due to the weather a part of the airfield was flooded and you were directed to run though it, which was not nice as the water was deep and very cold.

In short: great finish with lovely setting the hill near the end is not fab tho!
In full: Great atmosphere and surroundings. well marshalled throughout. Would be ideal location for a fun run in the grounds as very child friendly.

In short: Flat, Great atmosphere, and good value race with definate PB potential
In full: Well worth the trip down. A good atmosphere, plenty of encouragement from marshalls and spectators alike, and a band playing at 10miles.
Definately PB potential being pancake flat for the most, although open to strong winds and the "sheep dip" feature on the airfield, navigated twice, but to be fair the weather was terrible the day before!!
Course is a little twisty in places and 1 section run twice, but is a nice touch seeing quicker runners coming the other way early on and slower runners later. A chance to high5 any clubmates you might see.
Goody bag was well stocked with food goodies, and my favourite "the medal".
My only real gripe would be a race this size would benefit from chip timing, so everyone can have their real race time, rather than just the few dozen who get to stand on the startline.
Overall a well done to the organisers.

In short: hills steep, tough for a beginner
In full: The course is very scenic in places. I wasn't told about the hills beforehand tho but enjoyed the challenge. Marshalls and support on 10km course superb and thanks to the marshall who helped my son on the fun run. Only gripes the fun run needed more marshalls and set off earlier than 10am as stated. Thanks

Thanks.
