In short: slightly hilly, well supported, unique setting
In full: Ran this again and enjoyed it. Course is a bit hilly but I ran it about 2 minutes (5%) slower than my PB, so it's not that tough.
Course was well marshalled and there was good support all the way round. Slightly disappointed with the pin badge memento - last year's medal was much better.

In short: Killer hills, but goes through a lovely village with supportive spectators who provided an extra water station at 5km.

In short: Tough 10k in great setting. Shame about naff memento!
In full: Great setting for a 10k and a good excuse for a lovely family day out afterwards. Course was split in two - tough first 5k, predominately uphill. Second 5k a mostly enjoyable downhill run to the finish.
Great organisation and good value as included entry to the park.
Only downside was the memento. My sisters first 10k and thoughts of a medal got her round only to get some beans and a microscopic pin badge. Not a great reward for the efforts for first timers..!
