In short: PB? Not a chance.
In full: A very challenging race with a few killer hills and difficult terrain for most of the 10k. A total of 6.52 miles which meant I blew out when I put in my kick at 6 miles up the last hill. No Km markers which could be addressed. Great atmosphere, a cheery PA and a mad woman doing an amusing warm-up.

In short: Excellently organised, great atmosphere, wonderful scenery ...... but very tough
In full: This was a great race, lovely location. The scenery was great and I will hopefully be back next year. However it was hilly and tough, but with friendly and helpful marshalls.
Good day out with the family, next year they will have a go at the 3km.

In short: I'll be having nightmares tonight about those hills!!!
In full: For a local 10km this was a good race on a tough course. No chance of a PB, especially as my mates Garmin gave a distance of 6.5 miles at the end. We really didn't need the extra .3 mile! I would have liked to have seen KM markers, as I don't think that would have been too difficult to organise. Marshals and spectators all very encouraging. Thank you. I might be back....

In short: Very nice, tough, well organised race.
In full: Very good facilities, very family friendly.
Superb marshalling, a marshall on every single corner.
A tough run, with a 3km run up hill just to start, then along woodland tracks, before a short very steep downhill, finishing with a long steady downhill track.
It would have been a very challenging race if it had been wet.
A very good route to try out all possible terrain.
Three cheers to the organisaton and the abundance of marshalls.
