In short: Wow, a great run.
In full: great organisation both prior and at the start of the race, no walking or crowding due to the efficient start. Excellent support on the route and good atmosphere at the start and finish. Thanks to the bands on route and Hallam Fm DJ's who make it easier as we run around. Organisers and Sheffield many thanks. Will definately be back

In short: Well organised, good atmosphere and a chance to watch the elites coming back in too!!
In full: First time at one of these bigger events and enjoyed it. Aimed for a PB, got giddy and set out too fast and paid the price in the second half finishing under a min outside target(despite being well inside half way). Never mind, club winter hills and speed programme will cure that I am sure. Well done to all who ran either raising money or just enjoying running. Nice to see a good turnout.

In short: disappointing this year - was better last year
In full: just wondering whats happened to the organisation of this race this year . after several emails chasing my race pack it never did arrive in time and neither did the other couple of hundreds of people cueing up at the race info desk on race morning. come on guys get your act together - get the race packs sent out earlier insterad of blaming royal mail!!!! oh and please can you make sure you put the medals in the goody bags after we have paid £26 - only we were returning bags cause the medals had been missed out ! poor show guys

In short: Great atmosphere but a dull urban course
In full: Well organised event where good support and high participant numbers made for a great atmosphere, but let down by a dull there and back main road course.

In short: Very well organised event
In full: This was my first 10k and I really enjoyed the event. Although it seemed quite expensive, it was very well organised and you received quite a few things in your bag at the end of the race.
The course was mainly flat, but it had a tough uphill finish, which made it much more challenging.
