In short: first time running the Leeds 10k and loved every minute of it!
In full: Im not a seasoned runner and have trained for about 6 weeks upto the event. Didnt find the course too difficult (but did pace myself well for the first 5k)Second 5k was a bit hily in places and the gusty head wind didnt help. However, the final 1k is a dream of flat and mainly downhill al the way into the finish line. Really enjoyed myself and would love to do it again next year to honour the great Jane Tomlinson and also to raise money for such good causes. A big thank you to the Tomlinson family for continuing the spirit of Jane. All the very best and see you necxt year !!

In short: I travelled up from Norfolk, and was not disappointed. A great race to honour a great lady.
In full: I have to agree with other runners though, this is not a flat cours but undulating. The organisation was OK, and support after the start and finish was patchy. Plus I agree with others, my Garmin measured my run at 10.23k.

In short: This is my 2nd year running this race...am biased though after all Jane was my Stoker. Looking forward to next year already. Hoping to encourage others to take part. Congratulations to the organising team....A job well done despite the windy weather!

In full: My first 10K run!! Underestimated how hard I'd find it! Felt quite hilly and my legs hurt! Great atmosphere and well organised. Lots of people of all different abilities. Will definately be there next year!

In short: Favourite Race of the Year - NOT FLAT.....
In full: Brilliant, well done to all at Runforall great races, much better organised than last year, which was good anyway. Nice start, not seen anything written to suggest the colours were ability groupings, indeed I'm sub 50 and a Red Start. As for the distance, despite the hills I was within 1 min of my PB and measuring it on a map suggests 10km bang on so... but it's really not flat. Oh and thanks to Tracey Morris

In short: Excellent cause and well orgainsed - shame about waiting for my bag for 1 hour!!
In full: Superb atmosphere and well marshalled etc. Shame about a couple of points, it took longer to get my bag back that to run the race, lack of toilets and i am sure they could have picked a better course, up round Headingley etc would have been better!!
