In short: Well organised overall. But Lack of medals for all finishers
In full: A very well orgainsed event. Stress free parking and registering. Can be very windy as it was on this day. If it is raining it can be very tough as their is no hiding from it. Small number of competitors can mean that the field is very spread out. Only problem was the lack of medals for all competitors, although I was promised one through the post.

In short: Flat & friendly
In full: Well organised and really friendly atmosphere. I found three laps a bit of psychological struggle as the scenery was non-existent - but thats the compromise in having a very flat course with good PB potential.

In short: Very well organised; friendly and a definite PB course. I've been twice now and will be back. Other races can beat this on scenery and variety, but if you want to see how fast you can run a 10k, this is the place!!

In short: Good fun, lovely atmoaphere, friendly people
In full: I did my first Castle Coombe in November as an almost beginner and it felt incredibly welcoming and friendly. I came back because it is hassle free ion getting there and parking on arrival. Great stress free event.

In short: Organisation was fantastic
In full: This was my second 10K and although more runners would have helped the atmosphere, I realy enjoyed it (despite the wind). It also helped finding someone else runnig at my pace (a bonus with a small number of runners) to help me along as laps are certainly a mental challenge. The organisation was brilliant.
