In short: Compact with more bends than a central heating system!!!!
In full: This is the 2nd Jayne Tomlinson 10k I have attended, namely York in 2009. Typically, it's very organised with the exception of the start. I didnt expect the wall of people I was about to encounter for the first two miles with slower runners and walkers seemed to get in front despite the signage of Runners, Joggers and Walkers for the partakers to go into. The course itself is compact and has far too many bends to consider a PB. I maybe speaking as a purist here and may be a little unfair as many people were there to complete it for fun. It was a flat course for the most part and for the fun runners the marina area would have been a highlight. The finish was well organised and for the most part it was an enjoyable experience. One more note, it was 22c at the start at 9am!!!

In short: A great event, well organised, great support, nice flat course.
In full: Despite the absolutely scorching weather today was absolutely brilliant, the crowds were great, the course was nice and flat (and even managed to make Hull look quite nice!). Organisation was excellent, can't praise it highly enough, great great event.

In full: Extremely well organised, a glorious day that made it very hot for running. Yet another superb Jane Tomlinson 10km you can't beat the atmosphere. Lots of fab support especially from the RNLI and Mcmillan supporters. Thank you. See you again

In short: a nice run through leeds could do without the bottle neck just after the start though but all in all a nice run out very well organised

In short: Far too busy for me
In full: I'm glad I did but can't see me doing it again. To busy and never really felt I had space to kick me legs. Great support from crowd and marshalls. Well organised and hope it carrys on raising lots of money.
I personally wasn't a fan of the course route either.
