In short: My favourite event so far!
In full: Fantastic race- very well organised. Everyone kept warm in the club before the race and then out for a 5 min warm up. Perfect number of runners, great route along the river and then finishing with a medal and chocolate bars- brilliant!

In short: Well organized, friendly race with enthusiastic marshalls. A quick course - flat with hardly any undulation although 2-3k on towpath was quite uneven. Will be back again next year.

In short: Easy and well run race
In full: Good communication before the race, results up quickly after the race. Nice warm up beforehand and plenty of marshals on the route. Only gripe would be that I measured it as 10.20km but still closed strongly.

In short: Very enjoyable run, good flat location.
In full: Really enjoyed the race. Flat so a good chance at a PB time. Nicely organised but there was a shortage of loos. I will look to do it again next year

In short: Excellent run out!
In full: This event was well worth getting up for - route was a quick one - mixture of runners from club to beginners - nice medal and freebies at end. Best thing was the amount of marshalls on route and the encouragemnet. My GPS was bang on 10K aswell - so new PB for me!!
