In short: A great race around the centre of Kings Lynn & more besides
In full: My first run in Kings Lynn & a stand out event would recommend this one to all I know as the course is a scenic tour of all parts of KL. Fantastic to start & finish in the Market Place. Great organisation too. Booked for next year already.

In short: Excellent organisation. Friendly marshals and spectators. Very much a flat course, just a bit of a breeze this year. Excellent finish in the market square. I'll be back next year.

In short: Best 10K ever!
In full: I was recommended this race by a fellow club member and I have to say what a sound recommendation it was. This is a BIG race, with over 1400 runners. It has excellent support as its through the town centre and is very well organised. Good marshalls/water stations etc.Course wise it is flat/fast but fine for both begginers and speed merchants alike. When entering I thought the entry fee was a bit steep but to be fair it was worth it and was a great day out. All 19 members o our club that took part said they would do it next year!

In short: maybe i'm biased as i am a local but terrific atmosphere due to the town centre route.challenging headwind on the main drag this year still didnt prevent a pb. roll on next year!

In short: Well done to all concerned
In full: Although a seasoned runner , this was my first time on this one . Great fun, brilliantly organised (from starter pens, baggage pick up and reclaim: well done girls !, marshalling, drink, goody bag! Top in every aspect. And (if anyone from Kings Lynn borough is reading) I intend to bring my wife over from Peterborough so we can have a proper mooch round a really nice, interesting townn centre

In short: First race in over 20 years
In full: I couldn't have chosen a better race for my first in over 20 years. Very flat and fast. The only slight gripe was the bottleneck to begin with, but still a very enjoyable run.

In short: Another good race
In full: This is my sixth time of doing the race and still love it.
The pinch points especially are in the first mile while runners spread out from the start and was the slowest mile for me.
Still got a PB

In full: Very good organisation, superb marshalling, interesting route around a town I know very well. Very flat, slightly cramped in a couple of places but nothing serious

In full: Flat and fast, bit crowded at start through town centre but still managed PB. Maybe could have gone faster if it wasnt so hot!
Very well organised and well marshalled!
