In short: Fast lapped Course
In full: An enjoyable midweek race, great local support even if 40% were drunks & paramedics treating them. Seriously a great race very well organised taking you thought the closed roads of Doncaster town centre that were very well marshalled. if I had to be picky I would say parking needs to be sign posted better.

In short: Nice Town Centre run
In full: First time I've done this or a 5k having only done a few longer races before. Probably more suited to club runners as there is a fun run and vets race that precedes the open race. Still managed not to feel too out of my depth. 3 laps up Hallgate is a "treat" but the rest is quite quick. Well supported and marshalled. Nice tech t-shirt and bottle of Aldi water at the end.

In short: Another great race by Doncaster AC
In full: Great weather, local people out in force to support, organisation perfect, and closed roads to race on.
Great tech t-shirt to finishers, and for the price of the entry - a bargain !!.
If like me you do one 5k a year - do this one.
