In short: Perfect first 10k - flat and 4 laps
In full: This was the perfect 10k for me. I'm in my 50's, running my first 10k and recovering from an injury; so it was great to be running 4 laps - if I couldn't make it I wouldn't have to trek back to the start from miles away. Also, my supporters could cheer me on whenever I ran round, it was a flat course, and it was away from the road.
The marshalls were friendly as well.
Finishing my fist 10k made me feel wonderful, so thank you!! I'll be back next year.
By the way, if you had trouble parking, just use one of the other car parks, eg on the Hackbridge Road. It's no more than 10 minutes from the start and can just be part of your warm up/down.
