In short: An excellent introduction to 10k running.
In full: This was only my second 10k, as I usually prefer half marathons. I was again surprised by the extra pace of a 10k, but once I got used to it, it was an enjoyable run. The organization was first-rate and the local runners friendly. I certainly didn't miss the hyperactive local DJ you usually get shouting at you at a big city half marathon. This race was more restrained but without sacrificing the enthusiasm. I'd recommend it to anyone thinking of trying the shorter distance.

In short: .
In full: A good race run through quiet country roads, with nice views of the Severn at one pont. Good PB potential, was undulating for the whole course but somehow it seemed that there was more downhill than uphill! Rather windy. The start was rather further from the parking area than expected but luckily I arrived in plenty of time. And a nice glass of cider at the end is your reward for finishing!

In full: Fairly enjoyable run through some pleasant countryside and villages. Gently undulating course with some PB potential. Good mix of abilities and a friendly atmosphere. Liked the glass of cider at the end but could have done with a bigger glass! Excellent value at £6, not sure I would travel all the way from Swindon by myself to do this one again but in a group I definitely would.
