In short: Very well organised, and a PB!
In full: A very well organised 10k, very much enjoyed it, with nice (taxing but not deadly) changes in gradient. Managed a PB which is always nice! Decent T-shirt, although slightly disappointed that "race T-shirts sponsored by Hi-Tec" does NOT mean "race T-shirts MADE by Hi-Tec..."

In short: Well organised, excellent fun!
In full: This was my first 10k and I had a great time, achieving a PB against any 10k I've run on my own. Plenty of parking in Chessington WoA car park and the race course was clearly laid out and well organised. There were several times where you have to cross road junctions / roundabouts, but the marshalls did an excellent job of stopping the traffic and letting cars through in the gaps. I didn't get stopped or slowed down once.
I would definitely do this course again next year, a huge thanks to all those involved!

In short: Well organised Race
In full: Quite flat run. A couple of gentle hills during the first 2-3 km. Down hill to flat after that until you get to the end of 7km which catches you out a bit. Got a new PB so very pleased. Well organised and marshalled - excellent

In short: V. well organised and a great run to clear away the cobwebs
In full: Certainly a fresh start to the day (0 degrees) but good atmosphere and well marshalled. Reasonably flat but the slope from 7k onwards can be deceptive
