In short: Great day, PB potential. 4th time I've done this race
In full: Definate PB potential. Will be back next year. Although some of us do want to get a PB, the suggestion of pens is getting a bit ridiculous. This is supposed to be a charity fun run and not the olympic games.

In short: Well organised race on a good flat course
In full: Only grip as mentioned before is spending the first km dodging walkers who should of started further back, shame as it was cleared signed start for serious and fun runners, otherwise great race will be back next year.

In short: My 1st 10k, had been a couch potato for years. Trained for a few months on treadmill and went for it. Excellent atmosphere and smashed my treadmill pb by 14 mins!! Enjoyed the day (except the blisters) Gonna try the half marathon in a few weeks!!

In short: Great race, good atmosphere and super flat course. Agree with the comments about more segregated starting pens: sub-50 one two perhaps? Online results would be good.
