In short: Nice scenic run with mild challenges and well organised
In full: Well organised. Good route. Some steady inclines, but good for those getting going. Well marshalled. Good value for money with a tech tee shirt and lots of homemade goodies! Am thinking of suggesting as one of our club runs next year. Well done. Thanks.

In short: Lovely course on the only day of sun this summer.
In full: I want to say well done to the race organisers on this one. Good marshalling, water stations and crowds. One of those races where everything is so smooth you don't even notice the organisation, exactly as it should be. Cakes available for spectators and a cricket pitch for my daughter to run around on. Fantastic. As for the race itself, tight pack to start with but it soon broke up. Good scenery for a road race and mildly challenging. £13 for organisation and a good technical t-shirt. Bargain.

In short: Not as hilly as expected, but a couple of long drags!
In full: First time running Eccup 10 today. Fantastic organisation, a testing undulating course but nothing to worry about. Beautiful around the reservoir and fantastic quality shirts awarded at the end (proper breathable running shirts as opposed to the norm). A highly recommended race, see you next year!

In short: round the reservoir on a sunny Sunday morning - what's not to like?
In full: A superbly organised race. Rather congested at the start, but nothing could be done about that, it soon thinned out. Lovely route, plentiful undulations, and great marshals. My second time, and will be back. Traffic free, which made it a pleasure. The section around the reservoir was really lovely.

In short: Superb race!
In full: A real gem of a race this. My first time today, and gutted I've never done it before really! Quite a challenging route with a few climbs - nothing too bad, but quite a few longish drags - particularly miles 6 to 8.5 from memory (or was I just knackered by then?!?) But race organisation was impecable - no traffic (from what I can remember), loads of marshals, 3 water stations, a very nice technical T-Shirt, plentiful parking etc etc.
Top marks to all concerned - you did a great job, thank you.
