In short: Boring route..............
In full: Boring route, no atmosphere en route, too many people trying to into small space for first 1km, should have split orangeish and other ones into two waves to ease congestion. Can't knock the finish even with the slight incline but hopefully organisers will realise they got it wrong and revert back to last years route where there far more atmosphere. Anyway you can beat the smaller events.

In short: I don't think Great Run have got this one quite right yet
In full: Good atmosphere. Not an inspiring route and no, I'm not a United fan! Would have preferred a level finish. Waves not arranged effectively. There were a lot of slower runners in the orange wave, which was frustrating for quicker racers. I preferred last year's route.

In short: Very well organised race with good PB potential.
In full: Nice start and finish areas with lots of support here. Great to see the elite runners coming in the other direction too. I managed a PB even with the hill at the end. Only problem was that there was no designated parking area. Very enjoyable race.

In short: good atmosphere, dull scenery, well organised- changed from tetley's to yorkshire tea!!
In full: my first 10k and first great yorkshire run for sheffield. has the potential to be a great success next year however a more thoughtful route would be a must. London road to millhouses a bit dull.
On the positive really enjoyed the atmosphere will definately do again next year.
A great event to get the people of sheffield off their a***s!
