In short: Not overly scenic, but well run and good fun!
In full: My 3rd 10k and the best so far. Very well run, first two "legs" run on the road then onto the pavement once you reach Horton Lane. First half quite scenic, second half not so much. A few short hills. Good t-shirt, drinks etc at end of race, and marshalls at every road junction. Was it my imagination, or did it seem like a touch over 10k?

In short: Great PB potential - almost completely flat
In full: A well organised race with lots of potential for PBs. Only let down by lack of scenery and long on-road sections.

In short: Nice race, gently undulating course!
In full: The organisers seem to really know their business with this race although they could probably improvae signage to the admin and start areas. Most of the stewards were friendly and supportive. Only my second race but I felt quite comfortable there so it's definitely good for beginners as well as serious club runners.

In short: Its was first 10km race and I throughly enjoyed it! Would advice any first timer to have ago.
In full: The only comment i can make is the marshalling for cars needs more organisation. We got there in plenty of time and parked up as they were loads of space.
