In short: Excellent organisation and marshalls let down by parts of the route
In full: Did this for the third time this year, and as before the organisation and marshalling were top drawer. The chip timing was also a very welcome addition. But for some reason, although it's quite a fast course on paper I just never post a good time. The scenery is pretty uninspiring, particularly from 7k and I did find myself dodging the traffic a bit.

In short: Enjoyable and well organised...
In full: Well organised with encouragement from the marshalls. Slashed over two minutes off my PB. Chip timing a bonus but was it me? Didn't find it accurate

In short: Top banana!
In full: Really well organised event, marshalls did a fantastic job supporting us & taking their lives into their hands on the bypass to make sure we were safe!
Chip timing is always a bonus for those of us who don't cross the start line when the clock starts! Thumbs up for the bananas at the finish!
All in all a great 10K, I'll be back next year.

In short: Excellent organisation
In full: Pros: Very well organised. Excellent signage. Chip timming was a welcome addition. Very Friendly. Undulating course rather than hilly.
Cons: £15 on the day is a bit steep. No T-Shirt (I like T-Shirts :-))

In short: Excellently organised 10K
In full: The third time I have run this 10K and it remains a very good event. The race started exactly on time and there is very little crowding at the start. Even though the course is undulating, it has PB potential. Also, good to see the inclusion of chip timing this year.
The marshals were enthusiastic and in particular my thanks to those who helped on the stretch of bypass around 6K.
One minor point to note, I think the 4K marker was a bit early.
