In short: A good local race
In full: I also thought the final 1km was too long. I have since found out that it was 150m over........ A very good race however

In short: It is more than 10k but i was 10 mins faster this year
In full: Chip timing was a vast improvement on last year, it does get a little bottle necked but i take that as a chance to get my breath.
Excellent support even in the rain. Great local race

In short: Friendly local race
In full: Overall a positive experience despite being nowhere near my PB. I can make all kinds of excuses about the hills, the bottlenecks and the rain but at teh end of the day it was probably my fitness. organisation was pretty good, only gripewas having to schlep for bag storage and then being told I had to pay for it (even thought it went to charity).

In short: Friendly, well organised event.
In full: Really enjoyed this race despite the weather. Knocked over a minute off my PB despite the fairly long climb on each lap (which, on the second lap, was a good challenge as you knew it was coming). Last km did seem a little long to me although couldn't say for certain!

In full: This was my second year at this race and thoroughly enjoyed it again. The atmosphere was great despite the weather and the course is a nice mix of road and park with just 2 laps to complete. The chip timing meant no delays at the finish which was a huge improvement on last year. I did it in 55 mins and would recommend this race to anyone. The t-shirt is lovely too. I will be back next year.
