In short: unimaginative route, good water stations, friendly marshals
In full: I never enjoy the out and back routes, and with a 1km race for kids that went 500m out, and 500m back complete with toddlers crashing into each other I was unimpressed with the route. That said it is nice countryside, just let me see some! The finishing funnel was non-existent and the microphone lady sounded like she was just telling the timekeeper the race numbers instead of cheering the runners in. aside from the teething problems the t-shirt is ok, and the atmosphere was child friendly. With so many races on that weekend next year I'll find a more exciting race. This race was made by a school, not runners, and it shows.

In short: Enjoyable 10k
In full: I haven't run this event for several years but I thoroughly enjoyed today's 10k. It's a good road run, out and back with some nice hills. Organisation is good, adequate number of marshalls, t-shirt and medal, and a nice cup of tea at the end.

In short: Race was short this year
In full: Annoyed that the course was short this year. I got a big PB (and would have still have got a PB if the course had been correct) but can't count it as the course was only 9.9 Km. Compared the gpx file from my Garmin with those of previous year's races, and the turn around point was at the wrong place and 50 m earlier that it has been in the past. Otherwise was a good race, nice cakes, a medal and a nice T-shirt.
