Cancer Research UK 10K – Blenheim Palace by Runner Rob
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: First time 10K race - achieved PB for this distance
In full: Excellent place for a race of this distance - enough space for a single lap circuit with great views of Blenheim palace itself. Well directed course but Km markers didn't seem accurate. Bit disappointed with the late start, and the warm up didn't help the more experienced runners. Most entertaining part: running 8.5-9.5Km through a sheep field at full breating capacity - gas masks at the ready!

In short: Good flat surface, many laps made it lacking in the scenic sense though enabled you to pace yourself quite well. Very friendly staff giving loads of encouragement and many water stations to ensure nobody was dehydrated

BUPA Great North Run by CumbriAndy

In short: Much more enjoyable on a second running. Run this as a day out and a chance to be part of a special event and you will get much more from it than aiming for a time. Yes- it's crowded, a bit pricey and a pain to get away from but well worth it

In short: Stunning scenery although you do have to climb a huge hill at the start to get the full effect ! Friendly organisation and quite a low key race with a small field, however all standards welcome

In short: 10k - A nice course and pleasant atmosphere.
In full: I did this following the Bristol 1/2 and it was a pleasant change in scale of event and scenery (distance too of course!!). I note the comments about 10k and 1/2 conflicting in places. From a 10k's point of view it was tricky to negotiate round the back markers of the 1/2.
Someone said it was flat - and generally that it true but the wee slope just before the end made for a challenging finish!
All in all a very pleasant morning.

In short: Superb fast course, chipped for accuracy, extremely well organised. Will be back
In full: Organisation was brilliant, queue for toilets before race was three minutes. Downhill course so very fast. Felt like a local race with the goody bag and support of a really big race. A little congested on the narrow road just after the start. Crowd a bit quiet but did come out along the route to watch. A little incline in the last kilometre was tiring but superb finish. Only negative was it took an hour to wait for shuttle bus then travel through Inverness to retrieve car from the start. Overall a fantastic day out. Recommend it to all your friends for next year.

In short: Very disappointing. The run itself was ok but organisation was terrible. Not helped by an accident on the A127 which caused long delays
In full: Car parking, lack of toilets and start all very poorly organised
