In short: Well organised race and fast course
In full: The mild weather made this one a really pleasant Sunday for December. Vest and shorts were out in force! Well organised and well marshalled, the quick 2-lapper had a nice track finish too. Bargain entry and small field negated the need for chip timing. Will definitely do again.

In short: Marshalls were fantastic and encouraging, Really enjoyed the run. Not the most scenic but good fun and really nice to finish in a stadium.
In full: Overall I enjoyed it. Felt a little clubby for a fun runner but a nice sunday run

In short: Functional
In full: This race is part of our club champ.s and I probably wouldn't do it if it were not. It is flat but quite twisty with much stepping on-and-off-pavements. There is a basic feel to the arrangements - a whistle started us off, without even a "ready" let alone any "set", and it must be one of the last road races still to be without chip timing. On the plus-side: water and a banana is plenty after a five miler. Oh, and the weather was positively mild this year!

In short: Good course and race for a novice like me and a special thanks to all the marshalls who were great at cheering everyone along
In full: This is only the second race I have run, the first being a 5km and I was towards the back of the pack with a 51-52min finish time. Good distance, flat course, good facilities. I turned up on my own only knowing one other person through work there. As per my summary, a special thanks to the marshalls who really made a good effort to cheer everyone on and who's enthusiasm helped me round.
