In short: Great race, fine weather. Lots of crowd support and lovely scenery
In full: Time-zone finishing signs were displayed but not all runner's were aware of them thus causing congestion at the start. Possibly get someone to remind runner's to queue in the correct slots in future. Apart from that, organisation was excellent including the option of a free massage pre-post race, nice medal/tshirt and other seaside attractions.

In short: Well organised event, taking in the benefits of Bournemouth coastline
In full: Well organised event and I was pleased to be part of it. Only criticism is directed at the runners who don't start in their appropriate time zone, causing difficulty for those behind them.

In short: Lovely course along the seafront with a steep challenge!
In full: Lovely first 5K along the seafront, challenging up hill at zig zag half way round, but flat/undulating return. Definitely doing it again next year!

In short: Good weather as rain was forecast!
In full: Good race apart from the start. The problem was that runners approaching the start had to do so through the front of the start line. So many slower runners then just slotted into the front spaces and this proved for congestion at start. Otherwise good race, plenty of room on prom after start. Zig Zags gave it a bit of interest. Some KM markers were quite a bit out 2 and 7 I think. Good T-Shirt and medal

In short: My very first 10k run, came 963rd :-) but was chuffed to bits as only started running in November 2009! Zig zags a killer tho! :-O Definitely be there next year, great weather and atmosphere, may even do the half marathon next year! :-@

In short: Nice quick course, however organisation could be improved.
In full: Due to a system error I received two race numbers, and as I result have been recorded on the results list as Race Number 1256, as opposed to my name. Furthermore, according to the results I placed 21st, and yet I ran 39:01 which would have actually placed me 14th, so I find this a tad confusing, and rather irritating to be honest. It was incredibly congested at the start, so perhaps this could be improved in the future. Apart from these gripes, it was all in all a very enjoyable race, and I shall be back next year.
