In short: a great race
In full: an excellent race ... i really like 10ks and this was one of the better ones. Really helped by the sunny weather. Quite hilly - if you were not going up you were coming down. None too steep, but the 1k hill between 4&5 k was .... interesting!

In short: Tremendous support from the marshals
In full: Fantastic, mainly off-road course with a couple of really tough hills. Great organisation and friendly marshals.
I loved the Waitrose Bag for Life with a banana, a proper bottle of water and a decent heavyweight t-shirt.
The environmental touch with separate bins for plastic bottles and banana skins was cool.
All of this for just £ 6.00. I pay a lot more in other races and don't get half as much.
I'll definitely be back next year. Well done Saffron Striders.
