In short: PB there for the taking
In full: A fast, scenic course. Organisation was good - the only black marks being the shortage of toilets and a delay to the start (which wouldn't usually be a big issue, but the weather and temperatures weren't ideal for standing around in shorts and t-shirt!!) Plenty of car parking space, efficient marshalling, nice momento and PBs aplenty. A fairly large field, which consisted of runners of all abilities and would be a great 'first 10k' for anyone new to the sport, as well as definate PB potential for more experienced atheletes.

In short: Fun race but needs more TOILETS. Not fair on the locals when loads of runners are having to use their village bushes as an emergency toilet. Great glass paperweight race memento.

In short: Lovely friendly race and well organised
In full: Well organised race, not just for club runners.
Weather was cold and windy and the hail was refreshing (well thats one word for it).
There was a good atmosphere, tea and coffee was available for spectators and the momento was a nice touch.
I'll do it again :)

In short: Set a PB so very pleased! A big 'thanks a lot mate' to the idiot who tripped me up crossing the finishing line - hopefully my bruised and swollen ankle will be OK by next Sunday in time for Silverstone! More toilets needed though.

In short: Well organised & good fun.
In full: Cool race glass paperweight momento for all competitors, which was a nice surprise. Chip timing, good parking & facilities, good mix of competitors, friendly atmosphere. Good fun.

In short: First time - Definite PB Course - Very Flat
In full: Good Points:
Parking
Marshalling
Course
Crowd
Drink and Bananas

Poor Points:
Lack of mens toilets.
Lack of signage directing people to the time chips
Official website said entries on the day - This didnt happen as I was told on Friday it was full up. How can you have an entry on the day policy if you also have max number of runners?
Prizes - Only 1 prize per category. This was very surprising given the cost of entry.
