In short: Great race along footpaths, perfect weather and mostly flat
In full: The organisation on the day was great. I really enjoyed this race after the stress of getting there. I entered online, therefore didn't receive any instructions on how to get there or where to park. An email with a map attached highlighting parking would have been helpful to those from out of the area. I came from Durham, so even with my google maps I felt a bit lost!

In short: Good for first-timers like me as its flat, but reasonably fast-paced (1:25, was expecting a littl over 11/2hrs). Good prep for longer distances (I'm doing the Langdale 1/2).

In short: Fairly flat, a good race for first timers at this distance
In full: Out along the old railway line down by the River Lune past the large flocks of Geese and other birds on the river, then inland at the 4 mile mark onto the roads which undulate with snapshot views through the gaps in the hedges, back towards the river to join the old railway at the 7 mile point (2.5 mile mark going out) then back to the Wagon and Horses pub for the finish. A great run. This is my first 10 miler and is in prep for the Langdale Half. I got a time of 1h 42min which was very close to my est. time of 1h 40min. I will be doing this again. Thank you to the organisers.
