In short: Good race, well organised!
In full: Being in Hyde Park this was a lovely race on the eye and there was more than enough space to accomodate the amount of runners. The only down side is it starts at 10:30am and is in June, so this year the temperature was knocking on 30 degrees which really wasn't very comfortable. Also not liking the turn at 1k to go and it's a long hill to the finish line, sure the organisers were having a little smile when then planned that one!

In short: [race identity uncertain] Would have been fine if a) it had been remotely like 10k long (it was about 8, at the most), and b) if you hadn't had to run through Speakers Corner while it was still open. A complete waste of time.

In short: all you got was a certificate at the end and the cheap tshirt you got to run in. Chocolate bar wouldve been nice! Also water had run out when I crossed the line in around 65mins.

In short: Big field, so if you want to get a decent time, get nearer to the front.
