In short: Great race. Pb potential on a flat 2 lap course
In full: Good slick organisation and good to have road closures. Good quality at the front of the field. Nice to be captured on the race video. Race website is very impressive and informative. Will do this race again.

In short: My first 10K & really enjoyed it!
In full: Start was a bit manic, but for my first 10K U really enjoyed it, despite the slight drizzle. As said before, the residents were and in force and a special mention for the Marshall's, who were excellent and full of encouragement, particularly the lady with the bell!

In short: Great first event, well managed,
In full: A very well managed event, the two things that would make it better as others have mentioned more toilets and bins around the start area.

In short: Very flat, quick 10k
In full: Great course, lots of straight. flat traffic free roads. Organisation was excellent. Good bag was decent enough. Only gripe, cotton race t-shirt, no use to a runner. Tech t-shirt next year please.

In short: Good first time effort
In full: Apart from lack of toilet facilities already mentioned, there were no XL t-shirts - we're not all slim and speedy! (One hour finisher) Other than that, the goodie bag was fine with a mixture of items apart from the usual sponsors' paperwork. Pre-race information was excellent, good off road parking with one way system on exit, closed roads, fast course, well marshalled in the drizzle! Thanks.

In short: Well organised friendly race along country lanes. Great PB potential.
In full: Race was very well planned and ran smoothly. Well marshalled. No bottle necks. Excellent PB potential. Will definitely be back next year. Even the light drizzle was appreciated.

In short: Fast flat race with excellent potential for PB
In full: Being the first staging of the race this was very well organised with plenty of marshals along the route and in the car-park, lots of support in the village of Draycott and a good decision to close the road to traffic. If there is one area for improvement I would suggest some temporary portakabin toilets as the queue in the 'Race Village' with just 15-20 minutes to go was very long for both mens and womens. Overall though this was a great race. Well done to all involved!
