HSBC Cardiff 10K by Pierre
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: 1 out of 10 for organisation
In full: Cardiff is a great venue for a city centre 10K and the stadium finish is special. That much is good and explains the high turnout, but the organisers are in danger of spoiling the event by bad planning. The race entry form said no entries on the day after 9.30am, but many people wouldn't have known that until they turned up to enter - on the day. I have never seen such a long queue and no wonder the start had to be delayed. Perhaps in future all entries will have to be in advance. Does the race have to start in Westgate Street? The sharp right at the end around the pedestrian barrier is a bad bottleneck which would be avoided by say starting a bit further back on the road outside the castle. I agree that the placing of cones was poor and so easily avoided, but my main gripe like most others was the phantom first water station. I was feeling the heat after only a K or so and it came as a nasty shock to have to wait until 6K for a squirt of liquid, especially as having done the race last year I was expecting to find a water station where advertised. Is there any good reason why it was moved from a point where the course passes twice? It's a shame to carp about what could be a stunning race but hopefully lessons will be learned - and maybe next year the organisers could make amends by laying on a spot of cloud cover and a nice cooling breeze!

Carver Wolverhampton City Marathon by Bill Smith 2

In short: Not enough water and too much time running on the road with traffic.
In full: I enjoy running Wolverhampton, but think the organisers got caught out by a large number of late entrants and the very hot weather, as the water ran out. The people of Wolverhampton were brilliant with their support, additional water stops and water hoses keeping runners cool. Big thank you to St John's for patching me up at the school (around mile 6) when suffering from Jogger's nipple.

HSBC Cardiff 10K by GARETH ROBERTS
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Disappointed - Can do so much better!
In full: Being proud welshman I cajoled 5 people to travel from SE England and make a week-end of it, as it sounded awesome. Left gagging for water - reckon someone set it up 100 yards away from intended spot, which would have been perfect. Delayed start and hottest Sept day EVER in Cardiff (according to Beeb)didn't help. Loads of room for organisational improvement - Chip Mat? Marshals ? Communication at start? Certificates? Stadium finish means I will do it again, but come on guys if you need help organising ask some of us on these message boards to give more feedback - it could be a massive event.
