In short: Very well organised race, good course and friendly marshalls and excellent faciliities.
In full: Good local race, which is always well organised and the tee-shirts this year are extra special. Shame it's poss the last race on the current route - I'll miss that hill up to Horsforth!! Well done Kirkstall.

In short: Enjoyed the race, a couple of testing hills, but beware where you park!!!
In full: My only complaint is that it took 40 mins to get out of the car park after the race - so bad it reminded me of trying to get away from the GNR last year. Avoid parking in the Morrisons car park (even though they recomend it), it was completely gridlocked.

In short: Despite the climb up to Horsforth I enjoyed this race - I must enjoy a hill to attack
In full: As a recently returned runner I entered this race as my monthly 10K and thoroughly enjoyed its clubby friendly atmosphere. A little intimedating as there are obviously some fast runners in Kirkstall but relaxed enough to be a good run for any level of entrant. Thanks to the organisers.
