In short: first ever 5k
In full: My 2nd race in 3days but very enjoyable. good support, good t-shirt and a definate PB race. coming from sheffield incline was practically flat. wasnt sure of each catagory starting at differant times but races went very well because of this.

In short: Real family atmosphere to this race
In full: Great race for the beginner. Fast course and plenty of support. The only slight niggle was the narrow finish didn't leave any space for overtaking in the sprint finish.

In short: Great race very well organised
In full: No excuses not to pb on this 1! Largely very flat 1 incline, crowds were very supportive as well as marshalls. Nice t-shirt at end only slight grumble was that start was a bit narrow but didn't spoil what was a fantastic race. Will be back next year

In short: Excellent traffic free fast course.
In full: Well organised and a good traffic free course and a bargain at £6. The only drawback for me was the lack of distance markers.
