In short: Get it sorted
In full: Excellent course after the first lap of the housing estate is over and done with, but please do something about the start. Half the field were facing the wrong way when the gun went off.

In short: Organisation could have been better?
In full: The start was a little chaotic and I couldn't find the 6k & 7k markers. Weather was not to my liking, I prefer sun above light drizzle but at least it wasn't windy.

In short: Enjoyable and overall well organised
In full: Apart from the start, a really good race. Well marshalled, with a nice, friendly feel to it. The cross country bit felt more demanding this year (must be my age!), but still managed to get close to a PB. And to get the results e-mailed to you within a couple of hours of the race finishing is brilliant - well done to all.

In short: After a chaotic start, it was just fine - and pretty good support
In full: But I missed these cakes everyone is enthusing about - but a PB more than made up for it!

In short: Good fast course, shame about the start
In full: First time running this course. Start was a bit confusing, and the initial loop around the houses was Mickey Mouse - dodging in and out of cars, and some runners short-cutting on the corners. However, once this was out the way it proved a good course and well marshalled. The cross-country bit towards the end was sapping, especially as I turned my ankle just before the start (still managed a PB though)! The horse brass is a nice change from medals or T-shirts. Will be back next year, though, as it is nice to do a local run without too much travelling needed.

In short: Good fast race mainly on road. Bit of confusion at start though! - results posted super quick!
In full: Great race. PB potential for sure. Mainly on roads but a bit off road at the end - I certainly noticed it but only becuase it was at the end. There did seem to be a bit of confusion at the start - where it was and what way we were headed.

In short: Good "small" event, flat and fat and the cake stalls - wow!!!
In full: Good small race, flat and fast course - although a bit more testing over the "off road" section. Recommend for beginners or for a first 10k and a nice horse brass momento for all finishers. Exceptional results service, published on the web before I got home!
Areas to look at next year, a better signed or marked start line, portaloos - there just ain't enough toilets in a small primary school!
Highly recommend the event.
