In short: A nice evenings run
In full: Another excellent event from the purple patch team. Simply turn up, park the car in the provided car park, drop the bag in the manned baggage area & just run one lap or two. No need to worry about traffic. Cup of tea to finish - just what the doctor ordered. Well done to PPR & the team. Thanks

In short: quick course windy though!
In full: Only my second ever 10k since starting running in Jan. Did a PB beating my best time by over a minute. Good course, good organisation, nice medal. Chipping would be nice. Course did seem shorter than 10k, but then maybe I;m just surprised at my PB!
