In short: PB potential, 5 laps gets boring, nice atmosphere
In full: Good points: Well organised, flat course and lap-based means good PB potential. Milage markers acurate. Marshalls encouraging...nice friendly atmosphere. Bad points: agreed with what has been said previously, 5 laps is too much and gets boring, otherwise, fun...if you can say that about running 10 miles!

In short: Marshals are great and course well set up - but can be a hard slog running same laps past the finish line - shame that for the slower finishers like me the water ran out when we had got to the finish line.

In short: Fast, excellent organisation but dull - grit your teeth for the 8am start!
In full: I'm not a slouch as a runner, but I'm certainly not a pro - on this race though the standard of runner was very high. To do this 10 mile race requires a bit of dedication. You'll arrive at a blustery Battersea Park in time for the 8am start, then do 6 monotonous laps around a park - it's certainly not uplifting! However, the organisation and the marshalls were fantastic - well worth the effort as a training run or going for that PB!

In short: Round and round we go !!
In full: Well organised by Run and Become and very friendly marshalling.
Running 5 laps of Battersea park is pretty monotonous to be fair and not to everyone's taste though. But at least I got to see #48 again ;-))
Running past the finish funnel continually is a little demoralising ;)
