In short: Great run even in the heat. With the thermostat turned down a bit, would have been a real quickie.
In full: Pleasant scenery. Flat as a pancake. Very friendly and nice homemade cakes at the end. Perfect!

In short: Yikes it was hot! But lovely views over the fens and lots of friendly marshalls
In full: My first competitive 10k, ran a PB and wasn't last!! The heat was scary but tried to enjoy the views across the fens! Lots of friendly marshalls, 2 major water stations with marshalls carrying water and cups at nearly every other K so good for that. Really nice finishers keepsake - will do again

In short: A good potential PB course, drinks and quality momento were appreciated.. Fun run would be better if not on the main route that runners walk to get near to the start.

In short: Flat, fast course - definite pb potential on a cooler day.
In full: A well organised fast and flat 10k. Far too hot for running today - but definite pb potential - even more so on a cooler day!! Good parking, marshalling and organistion - and great first aiders....with special thanks to the lady who treated my sprained ankle at the finish.
