In short: Flat off road route, too narrow to easily pass slower runners in the fist 2 miles until the field was more spread out. Found the route very repetitive running along by the side of the sea wall for roughly 9 out of 10km.

In short: First time run a 10k, great amotsphere, well organised, good one to start with.
In full: First time i've run a 10k. The course is out along the seawall, makes it hard to do any overtaking for a good mile because of the wall one side and barriers the other, but in fairness this makes you keep to a steady pace and you dont try and go off to quick. Very well marshalled, bit stoney underfoot in places and about 3 or 4 water points, were giving out bottles but with lids off, would have preferred sports lids and then you wouldn't need to throw them.
Overall, great first race and lovely atmosphere with people coming out of there houses to cheer you on. Medal for all finishers
Would definately run again
