In short: I'd reccommend everyone to do it
In full: Did this race last year, was going to do it again, however, can't as it falls on the same day as the Ellesmere Port 10k race, and I can't miss my local race.

However, I'd reccommend everyone to do it, fast course, bit boring for 2 mile, rest is in the countryside and very nice. If it's windy though, before as it's a very open course... and mind the bolloards at the start of the race... about 400m down... get at the front if you can otherwise it's a pain to p[ass people

In short: Well organised.
In full: Could well be a PB course as very flat.

A bit crowded at the start, but there was an attempt to get people to queue by finishing times so I found that I could run at my own pace.
