In short: Well done Fenland Runners - another excellent race.
In full: Great marshalling, good facilities, organisation spot on and no confusion about the finish this year. Interesting scenery although I missed some of it as I had my head down battling against the wind! I just wish this was a little closer to home as it's definitely in my calendar again next year.

In short: The scenery is more interesting than you might expect and the course has good PB potential if it's not too windy.
In full: Good single lap route and surprisingly scenic for this part of the fens. The organisation went smoothly at all stages, although they could have been a bit faster in sorting out the water supplies at the end.
For this running of the race the wind was too strong from mile six onwards for me to crack my PB, but it was my fastest 10 miler for four years so shouldn't moan. Definitely a good one for a PB on a still day.
