In short: Tough beginner race!
In full: Tough hill at halfway point; some annoying barriers by subway when passing under busy road (done twice as on return); some muddy, grassy bits which really needed trail shoes; not very scenic route as very residential. I also found that part of the actual running on the road tough to 'overtake' as it was very much single runner traffic. Wouldn't recommend as a first time or beginner race. Positives are: well marshaled, well organised, friendly and somewhere to grab a coffee before and after.

In short: I run this race because it is mixed terrain and constantly changing. I don't mind the barriers at the underpass or the muddy grassy bits or even the hill up Queen's Park West Drive!

In full: Enjoyed this - interesting complex course, very well marshalled, phenomenal goodie bag (half kilo of lucozade powder), just a shame about the head cold! Good job Bournemouth Joggers.

In full: My first 10k and very pleased with the organisation, course (interesting & went quick), marshalling which was excellent, car
parking & track start & finish. An excellent race for a nervous beginner like moi to start with.

In short: An undulating course with suprising'twists and turns'!!
In full: Loved the track finish, not sure about the track start though. Was disappointed that some of it was off-road (across a golf course)and the 'rhythm-damaging' barriers at the underpass were not very welcome!! Apart from that a good challenging course with plenty of interesting turns. Would do it again!

In short: A fab time!
In full: Mild undulations (although a bit of a workmanlike hill just after half way!) - great marshalling and fab beanie hat at the end.
