In short: Great race - some uphill but lots of down to go with it
In full: Great race, there are one or two tricky uphill parts but there's plenty of down hill to make up for it.

Pretty well organised and good value for money. My only complaint was the start which was a farce, but this didn't spoil what was a good day in barnsley.

In short: Enjoyable Sunday Morning Challenge
In full: This was my first ever "race" and as such I turned up with some trepidation, but this wasn't warranted. I was scared running past the Coking plant - if every hill had been like that I'd have proper struggled - but it turned out to be a good challenge for this complete novice. Very good organisation, both at the start, energetic and enthusiastic marshalling and at the end made it a very enjoyable Sunday morning despite the cold weather. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be back. PB and an all time favourite race - but then it has to be doesn't it, seeing as how it was my first!

In short: Directions from the motorway very poor, start very starnge! countryside good!
In full: The weather was poor but that is not the fault of anyone. However, directions to the race may as well have been non existent. Facilities at race venue were goo and it was easy to get your 'chip' with helpful stewards. The civic hall was a good base and parking (if you got there early) was not a problem. The start was very strange, this is my 4th 10k run, with nobody really saying when or where it actually started! The course was challenging at stages, especially after four and half miles. Enjoyed the experinece and did manage a PB just over 42 minutes. (Thank you to the lady in all black who kept me going with an impressive pace!) The finish was OK and the people helping with the timing and t-shirts were good. All in all good race just need a better start!

In short: good challenging first race, very hilly. everyonr very friendly
In full: This was my first race and the event was well sign posted, easy to park and very quick registration. I enetered the race with two other people but they did not attend so i was left to run alone. At the start line people were friendly enough, but during race everyone was concentrating on their running as expected so i was running alone and was glad i tock my ipod. i enjoyed the run and was very much challenged with the hilly course. The stewards were excellent gearing you up as you past. i was very glad to finish at a reasonable time and with plenty of people behind me and will keep my t-shirt for the reminder. A good all round fun and challenging race that i will be doing again next year.

In short: Very good local level race
In full: One of the best local races around. Very helpful people sorting out numbers and chips. Friendly bunch who organise this who will do anything to help. Improved with chip timing this year. Only downside was results took ages to sort out so some prizewinners had left by prize giving. Overall, one of the best locally.
