In short: Please extend by 300m
In full: I have run this race 3 times and do enjoy the race as it is flat, not too busy and away from traffic.
Mentioned by others also, but please could the organizers extend it by 300m. I was a little longer than previous years but still my Garmin had it as roughly 9.7k.
I would have got a usable PB by running the extra 300m which would have been very satisfying - as it is I can only say what might have been!
But still very a very nice friendly race and I will be back again.

In short: a nice sunday run
In full: although very cold this was a well organised and simple race, 4 laps which as i found out when i ran this race earlier in the year you just seem to get quicker on each lap. i traveled from west sussex to do this race and was pleased with my time having run hellrunner the day before ! thanks to all the marshalls who must have ben frozen at the end , nice medal , will be back again.

In short: The cold shrunk the course! Freezing fun though
In full: Very friendly and well organised 10k. Simply done, burger van for the spectators and runners and a nice medal in a sports bag.
I only have one gripe and that is the length of the course. Mine and other Garmins made the length nearly 350m short of 10k.
I smashed my PB an got under 50mins for the first time ever with 46:23. I was on for just under 48mins if the course had have been correct length. It only needs the grass section to be moved slightly and the length will be correct.
I only have
