In short: What a scorcher !
In full: As flat a course as you will find. Whilst we can't predict the weather I would question the 11.00 start time as it meant that a majority of runners were running in the ' midday sun'. Very , very, very very HOT.

In short: My first race ever after stopping smoking in January, a habbit I had for 32 years,the clock did not seem to be working so only got an estimated 63 Minutes, but to my dismay some how they have missed me completely in the results !!!!

In short: Hot and flat, superb running past landmarks like Blackpool tower and lapdancing clubs
In full: A truly wonderful event, flat as a fluke, loved the support from the people handing out oranges and the drumming group, will not forget 5 old ladies urging me on to the finish, yelling 'you can do it luv,' even though by then I must've looked as if I couldn't. My first 10K, beat my PB despite heat. Will definitely do it again next year.

In short: Good fun run down the prom
In full: Was a good run for beginners, nice and warm on the day, flat course. The guy 'running' talking on his mobi, smoking fag, about summed it up.
