In full: The rain, unfortunately, spoilt a very good race route.
However the spirit was good and organisation, as always,was excellent.

In short: Fabulous race, great organisation and cheery marshalls despite the rain
In full: Loved every minute of it - splashingly good fun :) This is the first time I've run this race and even thunder and lightening couldn't spoil the enjoyment. An interesting course of ups and downs, and to be fair the cooler weather probably helped :)

In short: Very Soggy
In full: Excellent organisation, excellent marshalling. Thx marshalls for standing out on a soggy course and still managing a friendly smile when you went past. Maybe an extra marshal or two for reassurance would have been good on sections of the busy road where there was no pavement and just grass ie bottom half of Erdington road and Little Aston road by Fairlawns as found it very scarey running on a busy road with traffic. But on the whole very good challenging race shame about the weather

In short: A lovely 10k Road Race
In full: Putting the very wet weather a side, I thought this was a cracking 10k road race around Aldridge. It could possibly benefit from one or two more toilets and there was also quite a walk from the car park I used (by the medical centre) to the start. Very friendly marshals and superb organisation - well done to ARC and everyone who stood in the rain allowing the race to take place! A coin / medal, pen, banana and plenty of Revive juice drinks awaited each finisher. I'll definitely put this on the calendar for next year!
