In short: Good course but not the best organised event around
In full: The course is a real treat with a few hills to provide a test and some very good country roads.

The start is disorganised and hazardous. Perhaps the race director should have concentrated more on getting people to start in realistic positions rather than trying to be a comedian.

If only the organisers could have shown the same cheeriness that the lady selling the cakes then this would have been a more enjoyable event.

In short: Challenging but interesting route
In full: Had a good run which always helps with the review. Bit of a dodgy start and yes there were one or two people to dodge near the finish but overall I enjoyed the event and it is really great value.
Obviously a lot of people's time and effort went into organising the race, marshalling, car parking etc etc so thanks everyone a good run in a nice part of the run.

In short: An enjoyable 1st 10km run
In full: A very good first ever 10k run,albeit slow,due to running at my usual half-marathon pace & the works 'do'the night before at Garstang Golf Club.
