In short: 6 laps of the park - a bit brain dumbing!
In full: ok if you are training for the marathon - good opportunity to get some mileage in.

In short: Excellent organization, very enjoyable
In full: Congrats to the whole team taking care of the logistics. Done perfectly and in a great atmosphere. Will certainly do it again. Also, 10 miles is a great distance, not enough of those.

In short: Loved it last time and just as good second time around
In full: OK, so with 5.75 laps it's actually more 11.5th time around, but you get the picture.

There's a really nice, friendly, relaxed vibe about this race which is hard to beat.

It ain't broke (in fact, I'd say it's in pretty much perfect working order), so they don't need to fix it.

In short: good
In full: Good early morning run- a bit dull as its 5 and 3/4 laps of the park , but at least you are finished nice and early. Friendly org and lots of trophies!

In short: Good early morning run
In full: As a slower runner being lapped so often was not good for the head, but I would do it again as it's close to home and over quickly :-)

In short: Only one hitch
In full: I enjoyed myself though I almost got sent round for another lap by the people on the finishing line when I'd actually done my ten miles...
