In short: Should have been on for a PB but weather was far too hot.
In full: Would like to thank all the marshalls who were very friendly and helpful even though they had to stand in the sun all morning.
Very nice memento - a nice change.
Agree with the comments that there could have been a second water station on the course as the weather was so warm.

In short: Mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun
In full: Well here was me hoping for my PB near my old house on a lovely flat course. I had my family and my best mate strategically stationed to give me loads of support as I was running for charity and then the weather decided to put a spanner in the works!
Lovely flat course, well signed and liked the half way clock (where I was on target for a PB time!) but then the dehydration got to me. Even though it was a bit short notice, could the organisers not have found it in their hearts to set up a second water station on the return leg from the industrial estate? I nearly nipped into the garage to plead with the staff to let me have some water and I'd come back with the money later.
The marshals on Salisbury Road return leg were fabulous and thank you so much to the man who ran with me for a little way and talked me into not giving up. They deserved the fab glass momentoes as much as we did for making it such a safe and enjoyable day.
All in all, a great race and I'll do it again. Just next year, can someone please organise a little breeze :o)

In short: Well organised fast race
In full: The organisers did an excellent job to keep the cars at bay in a busy town with all of the running on road. Nice touch having a timer at the 5km point and good momento.
I agree with the gripe about the water station at 6km, there was space to have it a the 5km point which also offered some shade from the searing heat.
Will definately do it again next year.

In short: Well organised quick race. Shame about the weather
In full: A big thank you to all the marshals that did a great job in the searing heat. Very well organised and the engraved glass memento was great.
The heat robbed me of a PB, but will be back next year as this race is definitely quick enough.
I agree with the gripe about needing an extra drinks station. Normally a 10k wouldn't need another, but with todays heat it wouldn't have taken much to set-up another table at 3-4k. Otherwise, a well organised race. Thanks.
