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.
