In short: Everything excellent - weather, course, marshalls, goody bag etc
In full: As usual a well organized race. Everything you could want in a 10k and more. Fantastic weather (I know that bits luck). very encouraging marshalls, fantastic course and scenery. Church bells ringing half way round (very atmospheric). Well done to all involved.

In full: A fabulous 10k race. Great orginisation and marshals. Quite a fast course and extremely varied. I will definately do this again in 2009. To boot the weather was ideal.

In short: Interesting views and great encouragement from organisers
In full: My first ever race, and in my home town. Run brilliantly by local club. Excellently marshalled, with plenty of encouragement and a great atmosphere. Looking forward to next year. As previously mentioned hill at 4K and 9K are hard going, but it wasn't ALL uphill!

In full: First time running SW 10k and couldn't ask for more from a race and a great goody bag too! Well done to everyone who gave up their Sunday to make this work.

PS: I'd better get some hill work in before next year's race though...
