In short: good race with no killer hills so would be an ideal 1st 10k attempt
In full: only disappointment is that there was no goody bag as stated and the medal and t-shirts didn't have a year on them so if you re-enter next year i suspect stuff would be same! Good run though, ran past a herd of grazing deer and ran a PB!

In short: scenic run with no mile markers (good if you don't want to know!)
In full: Lovely park, family friendly for spectators with a large children's park and a coffee van onsite. Friendly organisation. Great medal at the end. Good flat run with a mix of grass and hard surfaces.

In short: Very fast paced - run your own race if you are not that fit!
In full: A nice start time, nice scenary, friendly organisers. However, Better markings of the actual course would be good (as difficult to know where exact lines to complete the exact 10K distance are) plus mile markers would be good.

In short: Inspiring and quick
In full: Well organized, pleasant route, nice t-shirt & medal. Only slight complaint is 10:30 start is a bit late - why not 9 or 9:30 like most other races?

In short: Fine - nothing wrong with this run - does what it says on the tin.
In full: quick registration, prompt start , good race for all comers (but I suspect not for really serious runners - unless looking for a win!) medal and t-shirt OK(didn't see any goody bags). Wouldn't mind a mug or something myself rather than a medal , cotton t-shirt etc. but just my view. Some distance markers would have been welcome. Come early for parking. Nice and flat and I'd say organisation absolutely fine. Take note, most of the old reviews below don't seem to be for this race but for some other one in nonsuch park so don't take much notice of some of them.
