In short: Very good for PB potential but multiple laps are never that exciting.

In short: Friendly, low-key race but not sure about the accuracy of the course measurement - seemed a bit short.

In short: Very short
In full: Not surprised so many people are saying they got a PB or SB here as it was well under 10K (5.92 miles on my Garmin). It was my first sub-40 10K but I'm not counting it or I'd feel like a bit of a cheat. Maybe they should have been a bit more vocal about the lamppost earlier on but I still think it would have been a little under.

Anyway, not wanting to complain too much because it was a nice race (bar the downpour) and I for one quite like the 4-lap thing as it never seems like you've got as far to go.

In short: They must do something about the weather - rain, rain and more bloody rain!o
In full: Not sure about the course measurement and the msall grass section wasn't controlled properly on the first lap but was corrected for the others. Having said that, it's a charity event, not serious serious and local - work permitting, I'll be there next year to get soaked once again!
