In short: PB race which is faultlessly organised.
In full: The marshals were great and the general organisation brilliant. It is a fast course but does have a few sneaky climbs in it. The towel is a mint greet colour which matches my bathroom. What more can one want?

In short: Fast, Flat and Fun
In full: This race caters for all the course is flat and for those looking for a PB over 10k this should be in your top 3. The course is not traffic free but is well marshalled throughout the marshalls help give runners a lift. The bath towel at the end makes this a good value for money race

In full: This was my first 10k event, very enjoyable, however I was caught out by a few hills which I did enjoy, however newbies should be warned its not all flat!

In short: A lesson in race organisation
In full: This was my 3rd Birchwood 10K and as always it was slickly organised and marshalled, with good support around the course. The new start line made it slightly congested and there was a few too many eejit drivers around but another thoroughly enjoyable race.

In short: great
In full: this was my first road race so is always nice to come back to show how much i've improved (maybe a little). lots of people so great atmosphere. start is a little tight but you have a chip for an accurate time. maybe it doesn't have the scenery but it makes up for that with atmosphere.
