In short: Great race to get you into the Christmas spirit...all though antlers bobbing up and down!
In full: My first time at Margam Park and really enjoyed running in such lovely scenery. Was a fun and friendly atmosphere with many runners donning antlers and santa hats. 10k is possibly not the best race for complete beginners unless you're a fan of mud and hills. Only downside is maybe to rethink the parking - bit of a mud bath in the field we parked and several cars left sinking. Will definitely be there again next year.

In short: This was my first 10K and it was great, it was a 2 lap course so timing to reach my goal was fairly easy. There was a nice xmasy atmosphere with grog hot chocolate and a brass band playing carols. Roll on next year.

In short: New route made it better than previous years, still some congestion but that was caused by people wanting to avoid getting wet.
In full: A great race, well organised and with a good mix of terrain, don't be afraid to get wet early on cos you will be wet by the end of it anyway. Good fun, big thanks to the organisers.

In short: First race, enjoyed every minute.
In full: Positioned myself a bit too conservativley and got bottlenecked as a result, but that was my fault.
