In short: A quick, friendly race, ideal for my first 10k and very well organised.
In full: Although the only pretty scenery was at the half way point at Kirkstall Abbey, the atmosphere of this race still made it well worth it. Everywhere everyone was smiling and laughing, and the stewards were great. Definitely a good one regardless of experience or ability.

In short: Thank God they ditched the bright orange t shirts but shame ditched medals too :-(
In full: Not cheap to enter and took 7 mins to get over start line(!) but the new start was a big improvement. Shame not to go through the grounds of Kirkstall Abbey anymore but understandable with the amount of runners this race attracts. Wish more races would adopt the championchip

In short: Great race but t-shirt not as good as previous years!
In full: I have to say I found it very hard this year but that was down to lack of training! The start was much better from the headrow and even then it still took ten minutes to get through the start. Loads of support thoguh even for us stragglers at the back. The t-shirt was not as good as previous years. Less sponsors this year so maybe thats why. Very enjoyable once I'd finished but really hard work doing it!
