Chester Zoo 10K by cougie
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Special Race if you go to the zoo afterwards.
In full: Excellent value for money - all runners get into the zoo after for free.
Kids run through the zoo was a nice touch.
Start was a shambles this year though. Waaay too overcrowded. I think they need to start in waves for next time. Maybe club runners off first, and then the rest a minute or so later. It'll call for more organisation at the start, but its not insurmountable.
Missed the km markers for most of the way due to the crowds.
Hills were tough, and the finish was on grass, but seemed OK to me.
Getting out of the car park after was fine - just go round the zoo and leave a bit later.
Will definitely do again. Just don't expect that a PB will be on the cards due to the congestion at the early part.

In full: Enjoyed the race, loved the scenery. A shame that there were no distance markers and that is wasn't really a 10K. As soon as I checked my time I realised the race had to be too short.

Blenheim 10K by Gareth (gettin' down and dirty)
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 40% |
In short: Another race in the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace.
In full: This is a tough race for those not used to hilly terraine, but fun none the less. The double back can be very depressing for those a bit further back. You pass the finish line at 7km and see all the people in front of you for the next 1.5km (the winner was finishing as I passed the 7km point - very depressing)! Good when you double back though and see all the people behind you! The last 3km also includes 2 horrid hills which really seperates the wheat from the chaff! Lots of very good runners there though and superbly organised. Well worth doing.

Prince's Trust 10K @ Legoland by Russell Coppin 2
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Great fun. Lovely setting. Pitty about the distance falling short of 10K.
In full: A lot of fun running through the woods and dodging the puddles. If done again next year, they need to put out distance markers and get the distance right. If you advertise 10K then it should be a 10K.
