In short: PB potential
In full: Not the most picturesque course, but I didn't expect it to be. It was great fun running on a race course, achieved a pb - it was flat and fast. Quite challenging as you can see right round the course!
My only gripe was - where were the medals?

In short: I was told not to go too quick on the first lap and did I listen...no!
In full: It certainly lived up to it's name but it was great fun, my first race of the season and got a better time than I expected. I'll be back for the rest of the races this year.

In short: A well organised 10k...with sweets at the end! Shame about the wind and rain!
In full: A great race...shame about the weather, which I'll obviously blame for my time:)
Everything was very well organised. The pack was easy to collect, only a small wait for the toilet and a flat 10k. The wind did hit us as we went around the course...but it could have been worse...the hail could have hit too!
In ref to the medal situation as mentioned by the previous review...we were sent an email to say that the medals were to be sent by post because of a supplier cock up or something like that.

In short: What happened to the medals?
In full: Well organised and good venue. My only small grumble is I thought we were suppose to get a medal when we finished.

In short: Well organised 10k. Shame you cant organise the weather
In full: Everything ran smoothly from the moment we arrived in the car park. Well signed areas, quick registration, areas to keep warm & dry. Then a quick briefing before setting off. The wind and drizzle did seem to be attacking us down the last section of the circuit. Services provided afterwards were excellent. Staff were very helpfull. A good outing for only my second run.

In short: Just brilliant
In full: OK - the weather is just awful - and for some reason it constantly rains in the home 1km even if it doesn't rain elsewhere. But this is just so great. Easy to get to. Easy to register. No hanging about at the start. Organisation like clock work. Love it.
