In short: A good, well organised start to the year.
In full: Nice to have such a good start point. Changing/toilets really good as you would expect from a Leisure Centre. Carterton is one of the world's blandest towns so it was never gonna be high on scenery, but it was well marshalled, nice t-shirt, medal and banana. All very smooth and well organised, I just don't think I'd travel a long distance to do it. Big up to the Lady Mayor for handing out the medals.

In short: This10k was an easy first time event for a newbie
In full: Really enjoyed my first 10k event. Not a difficult course, one gentle quite long hill which wasn't too challenging. Well marked distances, lots of cheering for pepes at the bottom of the pile - me! Would do it again. Nice T shirt, banana and good bbq from Foxbury farm

In short: A nice local race.
In full: Excellent value and well organised. It was my first race for 9 months and I was aiming for under an hour. Was really chuffed with my time of just over 53 and a half minutes.

In short: Bargain of a race
In full: For £7 (affiliated) you get v smooth organisation, bottle of water, medal and t-shirt. On the downside, the marshals were the quietest I've ever seen - a bit more noise would have been appreciated!

In short: Great except for heat
In full: Excellent race for local runners. My third 10k aiming for a sub 50min which was going fine for 1st 7k then hit a wall due to the extreme heat. Finished just over target time. Will be back!

In short: Great race for first time 10K-ers. Excellent value.
In full: This was my first 10K race, despite regularly running the distance in training. Going into the race I was hoping for a 55min time, but the heat was incredible so I settled on aiming for sub 1 hour - which I managed by 20 secomds! The atmosphere was great and the value for money was suberb: medal, t-shirt, fruit and water presented by a Mayor in full robes who looked hotter than some of the runners! Would definately do this again.

In short: Friendly and well-organised but hot-hot-hot!
In full: Nice little club run with a good atmosphere and gently rolling course. Good support and marshalling with plenty of water which was lucky considering that is was 26 degrees and full sun.
