In short: Hills, Hills and more Hills
In full: Oh my god, that has to be the hardest 10K run I have done yet. I thought I pushed myself in training picking with runs with lots of hills but it was nothing compared to what I had to go through on this race. This race was extremely challenging with people being sick at the end after they had given everything. Definitely a test of your will power to keep going.

In short: Good race - The only thing I din't like wasthe pavement along the A456 - the rest was a great course
In full: It wasn't flat but gradual assents and descents. It could be muddy in the woods but bone dry today.

In short: Challenging first 10k
In full: This was my first 10k as part of Great North Run training and my worries about coming last and/or getting lost were unfounded. Marshalls were in all the right places and tape was used in any place there was a possibility of going wrong. I ran at my own steady pace fairly near the back by myself for most of the way round but never felt like I shouldn't be in the race and my ipod kept me company. Most runners seemed to be club runners but there were a few slower runners - enough to make me feel like I wasn't out of place with my 65 mins.

In short: Hilly , Hilly and a little hill at the end!!
In full: A fantasic race, through beuaiful woodland and rolling farmland. Hilly in places but a great challenge, very friendly with a useful momento (trainer bag) and plenty of friendly marshalls.
