In short: I do not believe it
In full: A good local 10K. I did the race last year so I knew what to expect. It did what it said on the side of the tin. Yet again the long drag back onto the airfield between 7k to 9k into the wind finished off a promising PB. I thought lightning could not strike twice. However not the fault of the race organisers and on the whole another success.

In short: Challenging but enjoyable
In full: Warm, sunny & windy - OK the route around the airfield wasn't picturesque but the country road sections were almost traffic free and it was a very sociable event. Thanks for the free T shirt & fruit; well organised and run too.
Challenging for an almost flat course - legs had a good workout!

In short: Very enjoyable race good organisation and well marshalled
In full: First time I've done this one and would do it again even with my disappointing time of 46:37, although I blame my holiday and lack of training rather than the weather and wind towards the end for that. Organsiation ran very smoothly and loved the tea and cake stand. Very family friendly, well done.

In short: Nice morning out, slightly odd airfield set up but nice enough all the same.
In full: Reasonable facilities and a good bunch of people - would do again as the course is anice one for a pb.

In short: Like a training run
In full: My own fault for not training better - found this quite dull with the last 2k finish ultra laborious - sorry, I did enjoy the event tho. Even had 'S' sized t-shirts by the time I finished 59:16 - pleased to get under the hour (should hope so on a flat course). Good marshalling.
