In short: great run for both beginners and experts
In full: I really enjoyed this run. There must have been about 600 runners so there was a good atmosphere and also a good range of abilities. There seemed to be some very fast men (maybe the promise of a trip to Iceland for the winner brought out the best!) but there were also many people coming in after 1 hour so I didnt feel intimidated. The "bag for life" goody bags were a nice touch as was the scooter race for kids after the main event. Marshalls were also great and very encouraging which was really welcome by the slow coaches like me! In the diary for next year

In full: There are few runs in central london so this is a welcome addition to the calendar. It was great fun. Well organised and very friendly marshalls. Unbelievably lucky with the weather given the day before. Will definitely do it again next year.

In short: Friendly atmosphere and well organised and professional enough to be enjoyable
In full: Very friendly organisers and excellent marshalling of quite a complex course. Attracted to race by shortage of other 10K races in london at this time of year and will probably run it again next year. A few downsides which hopefully will be improved on next year: (1) why no electronic timing at the start?; (2)According to my Garmin Forerunner and my splits the last kilometre was about 75m short!; (3) Finish was very crowded with no chance to continue walking after finishing to cool down properly; (4) "Finisher" on T shirt. Overall a good smaller event with the emphasis on the running not hype like my other two runs this year (British 10K & Great Capital 5K).
