In short: Friendly, well organised,with lots of encouraging stewards to keep you going
In full: Done this run a few times. It's always been great before Christmas and there's a festive atmosphere. Today was wild, wet, and windy and made my friend and I realise how bad it must be for those RNLI men out at sea. Everything is well organised but the chocolate though hot leaves a lot to be desired( sorry !)- could you change the brand for next year please?

In short: wet and muddy!
In full: I love coming back to this run every year - the course is varied and challenging, especially the steep climb up the hill and then back down again - twice! The atmosphere is still fun, despite a minor downpour during the run. Nice to have the mulled wine at the end again. The countdown to Christmas has begun!

In short: Cold & muddy, but worth the early start!
In full: What more can you expect of a race in South Wales in December- cold, wet, windy and very muddy! Seemed to be lots of people entered, which was fun, but made it a squash for the 1st few km. The route was pretty, though spent more time looking at the floor to avoid the potholes and muddy puddles- I lost this battle in the end! As others have mentioned, there was a pretty steep hill around 3km & 8km, but actually the even steeper downhill that followed was more of a killer! Overall, a great race for getting in the Christmas spirit/finding an excuse for that extra mince pie/escaping Chrismas shopping...! Would do it again!

In short: Not for the faint hearted
In full: I've only done one 10k before this which was a flat road race so I found this difficult and the weather was appaling. Bizarrely though I got a pb. No complaints about the organisation except there were very few cups of water being handed out at the halfway point and I got none :-(
