In short: Fast and flat, great for beginners.
In full: This was my first 10km race and I found the event very beginner friendly. Slightly windy on some of the long straight stretches but apart from that a great opportunity for a fast run! Will be back next year...

In short: If it wasnt for the wind..maybe a pb race, but the sheer flat-ness made 8/9km point arather gusty! Nice small and friendly reace though:D

In short: A decent test for any half reasonable runner
In full: It was enjoyable and the old airfield was longer to run than you thought, but a very enjoyable race.

In short: Beat my PB by over 2 mins
In full: Very well organised race. Great to get a bottle at the water station instead of a cup. Very nice coaster memento. Wide choice of excellent homemade cakes in the tea tenant a definite bonus. Good flat course but a possibly a bit exposed on the airfield in the final stages if there is a headwind like today. All in all a good day out - will be back next year !

In short: PB for me on this fast course
In full: Well organised and marshalled race over flat airfield and quiet lanes. Not an exciting course but enough variety to keep me going. Very smooth organisation with km markers spot on and official time only 2 secs over watch time despite no chip timing and starting near the back.

In short: Excellent, well-marshalled race, good for a PB
In full: Not the race's fault, but I had a lousy time. That doesn't detract from the organisation, the course, the marshalls, the weather, all of which were great: it just wasn't my day, but I'll be back next year if I possibly can to do it properly!
