In short: Very good race, very flat and definatly very fast!
In full: I started running in march and this was my fourth race as i'm training towards the Robin Hood half Marathon in Sept and I'm a consistant 10minute miler so to finish in 44minutes was great and I shall certianly be back to try and improve on that time next year. It was an extremly good course,well marshalled and very well organised. The atmosphere was very friendly and my 3 young children loved it and are eager to try the Fun Run next time.
