In short: Great race, great day.
In full: One improvement that could be made is a few marshalls at the start of the race with approx finish time boards so that the competitors can organise themselves better.. yes we all need to be realistic and take some responsibility about where we place ourselves at the start of races. I had a slower start than i wanted but still manager a PB. The medal issue will rage forever but i would personally like to keep race costs under control, medals etc all have costs attached. Perhaps medals can be an optional extra to the race fee and paid for in advance?

In short: Great race on a beautiful day
In full: It was almost too hot, but plenty of shade round the course. The start is very narrow for a race this size.
Great organisations and friendly marshalls, very good overall.

In short: Good race but some big gaps in the organization
In full: Tough to review. The race itself is excellent; good PB potential, beautiful surroundings and well marshaled. However, there was a real lack of information for competitors, the start itself was pure farce and the water bottle at the end - which didn't event have the event name on it - was pretty lousy. Overall this is an event that could do so much better. I read the RW comments from previous years... seems the organisers paid no attention... shame.

In short: Fantastic setting for a race. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
In full: Can not add much more than the previous comments that the start was crazy. Either reduce the number of entrants or change the start. Other than that though was a great race.

In short: My second Ciren 10k - the start was awful - 500 ish runners crammed into a narrow lane. This needs sorting for next year. A lot of people wanted a medal - I agree. Not sure if I'll ever use the bag!

In full: the weather made it special. good surroundings, the odd car was a challenge to pass through the tight gate, otherwise, as my first run, it was very good.

In short: Loved it! The weather helped but beautiful place.
In full: Shame that there are no medals - the bag is all very well but I like medals to add to my collection to show what I have acheived - I am surprised the organisers have not paid attention to previous comments about this

In short: Bring back the old new course!
In full: The course this year was actually the old, old course. Why did they revert to it? Probably to remove the "hill" from being run twice. Big mistake. The start was atrocious, but after 1k or so it was fine. More helpers needed at the finish for the drinks. Definitely worth turning up, though.
