In short: Friendly, well organised but very windy and never in the right direction!
In full: Well organised race, friendly people but the wind took some of the fun out of it. And it was definitely over 10K - my garmin clocked it as 6.69 miles. The bananas were fab - very hot to be in a banana suit!

In short: GREAT race!
In full: Great race, my very first time ever. The wind made me suffer like a dog at the end, but picking up the pace of the GORGEOUS lady in the lovely white top really made my day!

Just kidding (well, sort of...)

In short: Nice charity run, but course not great as two laps, with little loops so can always see how far there is to go! probably would have been more positive but it was a really windy day which made it quite unpleasant! but the bananas were great!!!

In short: Very friendly charity race
In full: Very friendly and well organised. Potential for pb, until you realise that the course is 10.3K which adds a minute or two to your time. Very flat, great tented village with lots of refreshments including a bar. Very well organised kids run.

In short: Third year I have done one of these - always good fun
In full: I always enjoy these and this is my third year at a different venue every year. Lovely day except wind and I did wonder if the course was longer than 10k. I went through 8k in 39 mins and although I think I slowed up a bit I was suprised to finish in 52 mins - I know it was windy but it doesn't usually effect me that much !
