In short: Lovely friendly atmosphere, nice flat run with PB potential
In full: Friendly race at Willen Lake in MK. Novelty factor of bananas to race against although they weren't very good at keeping to their predicted pace! Everyone in banana yellow tshirts makes for a fun event. Well signposted and clear km markers. All my family had a fun day out.

In short: Nice and gentle for a first time 10k
In full: Great race for a first timer. One or two of the marshals weren't particularly enthusiastic which for a first time runner towards the back was a little disheartening (although I haven't done any other races before so other people might disagree). Great organisation though.

In short: Brilliant - but the bananas did not run at the advertised pace
In full: I really enjoyed this race. Organisation, marshalls, facilities and everything else was perfect. A very minor gripe is that the bananas did not run at the times advertised in the pre-race material. This is very minor and not meant to offend those who run as bananas - all of them were brilliant and their stories about how they were effected by Leukaemia were very moving. I just feel it would have been better not to advertise their predicted times in the race material as this gave the false impression that they were pace markers. Bananas 7+8 had a predicted time of something like 1:10 + 1:15, yet both finished in the same time of 1:01.

In short: Great race, not too hot and a good atmosphere too!
In full: A nice event, lovely to see everyone on their yellow shirts, and see the bananas set the pace. A great race for all abilities and ages, very inclusive, good on-site facilities, well marshalled, with plenty of encouragement!
Definitely worth doing!
