In full: I really enjoyed this race. Thought the hills were just right. Weather turned out to be perfect. I agree with the comments about the slower runners and cars leaving the car park. Felt really sorry for these runners. I'm sure it could have been better arranged. Will defo be doing it again. Thank you Bolton Harriers.

In short: Really enjoyed it, well organised
In full: First race for 12 months and I really enjoyed it. Excellent organisation, some challenges but not a killer, and just missed PB by 7 seconds. Only complaint was cars leaving car park towards slower runners making them have to leap out the way.

In short: Usual well organised race -thanks to nick and everyone involved
In full: Had a good steady run. Weather felt a bit cold but brightened a bit for the start and proved to be ideal. A bit wet underfoot in places due to overnight rain but van't be helped. I like the course -there are compensations for the more difficult bits and it challenges you a bit. Well done to Nick the organiser (again) and thanks to everyone who helped out.

In short: Well organised until the end.
In full: Good event, the only thing that let it down was the number of people leaving in cars driving towards some of the slower runners still finishing forcing them to change direction or stop to aviod being run over.

In full: Well organised. Shame about late arrivals blocking the car park for an early exit if you are a quick runner.

In short:
In full: Wet and very cold conditions for April did not make this undulating course any easier but a decent atmosphere and no organisational issues were pluses. Nice finish on a good running track made up for running through pools of water due to recent heavy rain. Good price compared to some extortionate 10ks out there and I will definitely do this run again.
