In short: First time I have done this without the wind, made a good event even more enjoyable!
In full: OK I am biased it is my "local" 10k but it is excellent value, well organised (secure bag storage, cafe for snacks before/after) and above all for a really worthy cause. Definite PB potential but also very beginner friendly. Thanks to the lack of wind I finally broke 50 mins, beat both my mates and my children cheered me over the line! Whats not to like!

In short: Good race, well organised, sunny, fresh air!!!
In full: Good all round but beware of your "good" time as I got a PB but my Garmin watch only clocked up 6.03 miles (10K = 6.21miles)!

In short: Great course, weather excellent, well organised and superb value for money.
In full: Great race, great day. Weather was perfect, no wind this year which made for a great run. The wind can really make the difference on this course.
Very mixed abilities, always good to see. Loved every stride !!

In short: Great 10K in great weather
In full: When you spend many hours running the coast, the wind can be a bit challenging. However, there was barely a breeze at this morning's Hoylake 10K. Its scenic backdrop, slighty trickly off-road bit and good, friendly organisation all helped to make it an ideal venue for a seaside 10K ... and all for seven quid.

In short: Great scenery and race but tough wind this year!
In full: All was going really well until those last three Km into the wind! 20:57 at 5 K but over 45 min for full race!
Great scenery, cause and organisation. WIthout the wind definite PB material!
