In short: Well organised with plenty of marshalls
In full: On a very hot day like today, this race was well organised with water @ every mile & marshalls @ junctions. Didn't notice any problems - so it all worked like clockwork.Well done to organisation.

Kerridge Highclere 10K by Slothslow
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Lovely dappled woods, fairly hilly & slippery in places. Not many slowpokes like me at the end but marshalls were wonderfully supportive.
In full: This was my first 10k in about 10 years so seriously worried about being stone last. Once I started though, the dappled wooods, grassy knolls and not to mention, Highclere Castle itself, soon took my mind off being last. This is certainly a multi-terrain course with some fairly boggy bits despite the fact that the weather was gorgeous. Possibly starting a little earlier, 10am instead of 10:30am, would have been easier particularly for the back of the field as it was seriously hot coming in after 1 hr 18 min! Organisation was very smooth although I was a little disappointed not to receive the free t-shirt (they had run out) which apparently is to be posted. Thanks to all the cheerful marshalls and small crowd that cheered us on. Definetly worth doing again next year...

HSBC Cardiff 10K by Boffin
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Race with potential: very badly organised / executed
In full: The organisers issued conflicting instructions, from non-existent tear off strips on race numbers to publishing water stations which did not exist. Too many runners for the course & too many sharp turns causing bottlenecks - recking any hope of a PB. Purely a moneyspinner with little consideration for runnability.

In short: Very hot, needed more water, happy with time
In full: Didn't seem to be much info about what to do etc for beginners. Was running on my own so had to keep asking people what to do, sorry to them! No water at 2.5k so very dehydrated at 6k as it was so hot. Difficult to say if best race ever etc. as it was only my first one.

In short: Very well organised & marshalled. Lots of drinks stations
In full: The orgaisers must have gone to a great deal of trouble to organise so many volunteers for so many drinks stations. It was a very hot day and this was very much appreciated.

Winston Runners Ladies' 5K by Chick pea
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: This was my first race and I couldn't have picked a better one.
In full: The organisers were very helpful when I admitted I was a race virgin, and reassured me I couldn't get lost or end up running the wrong way. They pointed out the toilets, showers, baggage area and start line. There was also a map of the course clearly displayed.
The race itself was clearly laid out, with marshalls at every turn who not only showed the way but clapped and cheered all the runners as well. It was a lovely route through the park, patly under the shade of trees. There were clear distance markers.
At the end each runner was cheered by the crowds, and given a nice medal and a goody bag with a tshirt, bar of chocolate and carton of fruit juice. There was plenty of cold water in cups at the end as well.
I really enjoyed this, my first race. Great location, great organisation. Five stars.

In short: personally, I hated this 'race' and found it quite boring. the only challenge was trying not to trip up the person in front as you fairy-stepped around the course. but at least a lot of money was raised for charity.

HSBC Cardiff 10K by JEvaNs*
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Got well below the time I was hoping for but could have been better organised
In full: It was the hottest day in a very long time so I certainly wasn't expecting my 53mins! But the roads were closed off late, the race was delayed because of on the line entries, there was only one water station that wasn't very well manned, and at the end they wanted your chip but didn't want you to stop moving, and it wasn't clear where there was water or goody bag collection points. And we missed the award ceremony as that wasn't clearly pointed out either.
Still, I was pleased as punch with my time so that makes it all ok.
