In short: Good experience for attempting PB; bit tedious doing laps; would prefer to do the track again in a racing car!

In short: 3.25 laps of the race track was a bit dull, but we all new what to expect . Plenty of over taking room so no problem for slow runners or bigginers.. Yes the Duathlon is the main event, to be expected . Nice tee shirt and goodie bag

In short: First time at this one; good day out in ideal weather, ruined for me personally by an overambitious start. Three and a bit laps, plus plenty of car parking, makes it very spectator-friendly.

In short: Great outing for my first 10K, the weather made it great, but everything else seemed to go like clockwork. Very friendly and helpful for beginners, nice flat track, but enough scenic interest to stop it being boring

In short: well organised race, nice facilities, cheerful organising team! Could have done with the awards a bit sooner after the finish though.
In full: The 10k seemed to be the poor relation to the duathlons, but thats fair enough as it was mainly a bike/run race I guess. Not a criticism of the organisers at all - just the way it felt to me.

In short: Good venue, shame about the heat...
In full: Starting at 10am on a hot August day caused problems; having started at 9am might have been better, as the heat decimated the slower runners like me.
