In short: Still buzzing!
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed it! Fantastic atmosphere, really well organized, the only negative thing I can say is that the km markets weren't particularly prominent but that might have been me being a bit dozy! A fab tribute to an inspirational woman. To quote other reviewers, it really was a "run for all".

In short: First 10k race and thoroughly enjoyed it.
In full: This was my first race experience as I am only just getting into running. I ran as part of the West Yorks Police Team and had a great day. Achieved a PB as well which made it even better.

In short: Very good mass participation race!
In full: Achieved a pb of 50.38 despite it being a tough course. started near the front so didnt have too many slowbies to pass. those really slow ones should not be starting at the front and they should have expected times up so people know where to start. good distance markers and water stations (very big dont know how some people missed them) defo do this again next year

In short: A run for all abilities, brilliant, as usual.
In full: I've done all three, last year was a much cooler and windy morning which kept the support a little subdued, but this years support was better than the first year, which was brilliant. Yes, the start was a slow affair, but with 11000 entrants,it was to be expected.

In short: A fantastic event that makes you smile from start to finish!
In full: My 2nd run for all and even better than last year despite the bigger field. I started closer to the front this year which is why I found it less congested and easier to navigate my way through although the 1st km was very stop / start. I even knocked a minute off last years time so there is a PB opportunity there if you want it. Didn't find the hills any easier though! I will definately do this run again next year and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great event with fantastic organisation and vocal supporters!

In full: Wonderful Atmosphere and the crowds were very supportive, really lifted everyone as we came down to the finish line. The start was very slow we were still moving round to the start line when Dan Robinson came flying past us to the finish line. Was a bit congested at times along the route needs to be made less narrow if the numbers get any higher. Overall though this is a well organized race with the emphasise on raising money for charity.
