A cracking run just before Christmas.

In short: Nice event in town centre + you can do your Xmas shopping after!
In full: Nice race with good organisation on a fast course albeit difficult to overtake given narrowness of paths and runners going in both directions.
Minor niggles:-
It's a 10k race - markers should be in 'k's!
Water station at halfway on the wrong side meaning I and many others didn't realise until we saw cups on the floor and by then it was too late to go back.
On the subject of water, more help needed to pour/distribute at finish - but biscuits were a nice touch!
Will be back next year.

In short: Good Fast Course - and very lucky with the weather
In full: My first experience of a 10K. Well organised, and a nice park based course.
Organisation was fine. Tight start at the ice rink, but it was a minor point.
Well marshalled particularly along the points where the path is being used by runners going in both directions.
A very enjoyable race and one I will do again.

In short: excellent race very well organised. only negative point is that to overtake another runner is a bit awkward due to the runners ahead running on the same track but opposite direction

In short: Fast, fun pre Christmas calorie burn-off
In full: The starts a bit casual (no speed pens or organisation as such) but thats fine. The switchback means all runners must be switched on, the scenery is...well, Telford basically. But a great pre Crimble run out and offers great PB potential. Car parking and reg very easy. Good support especially at finish. Well worth it.
