In short: Last two miles positively cruel!
In full: Enjoyed the race though the start was very confusing. Lack of water at the end the only negative.

In short: Chaotic parking
In full: Is this the first one run in Royston? There were enough marshalls on the course but it wasn't traffic free by any means. Coke oven atmosphere reminded my of work!

In short: A friendly local 10k organised by runners for runners.
In full: Over 30 marshalls on the course. People had been advised that parking at the leisure centre would be limited and to use the numerous side streets.

We value constructive comments so we can try and make the race a better experience next year.

Thanks to people who have made them.
