In full: As usual, excellent organisation and marshalling make this race a classic. The heat today got to me, but the course is a challenge whatever the weather. That final hill is not for the faint-hearted!!

In short: Thank-you Aldridge that was bloody brilliant
In full: Runners World take note please, you have to list this race in the top 5 when you next do a top 30 or 50, 10K road races in your magazine. The organzation was Superb ran like clockwork. Every Marshall you met on the course were full of nothing but praise, and as for the locals around the course, you were great. There were people shouting and screaming you home in the last 250 Meters that left you feeling like Dan Robinson rather than a sunday morning slogger, everyone in the last 250 meters you were brilliant, it left me with a lump in my throat as i walked through the finish. When can i sign up for next year.

In short: Very well organised
In full: My second time at this run and it was organised as well as last year. Plenty of marshalls and an extra water station due to the warm weather so big thanks to all involved. The course is a little bit undulating but nothing to severe and could offer pb potential to some, although the hill at the end is waiting for you! The warmer weather meant I ran this slower than last year but found the last hill easier, overall a good event for anyone wanting to do a 10km race.

In short: Good race with a few hill for the challange. Nice scenery out in the countryside with the odd meander through housing estates which gives good support from the locals.
