In short: Even faster than before - get your pb here.
In full: New start was a success - even if you weren't quite as far forward as hoped at the start, the road was wide enough to pass without problems. Very flat, quick course with no reason to hang around en route (it's not the prettiest of courses).

In short: Excellent PB Potential course.
In full: The organisation was good, but it was a shame that people didn't use the predicted finish times at the start as I found myself held up by lots of people walking in front of me. My mum and sister also did this race who are beginners and this was a brilliant one for them.

In short: Great organisation and a good, flat, route.
In full: This was my first 10K and I was a bit worried after reading some of the negative comments left in previous years. However, I had a brilliant time and have nothing negative to say at all. The start and finish worked well, there was water available at the 5K turning point, super fast runners and total beginners existed together peacefully with very clear starting signage and K markers. People cheered each other on, some ran, some ran slower, some people walked now and again and some people walked most of the way. I feel that this was a great race that would boost beginners and the elite alike, and I did my best consistent mile time ever!
